This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Friday, January 27,
2006 sponsored by the Detroit Lakes Regional Chamber of Commerce. You
may also hear this report by calling (218) 847-5743 or 1-800-433-1888.

This week we have had a rather quiet mild weather pattern , broken only
briefly by a quick system that did produce a little snow in some areas,
but not enough to hinder most normal activities. The birds seem to have
been quiet this week also, as relatively few reports have come in - or
is it the people who have been quiet?=20

Larry Wilebski in Kittson County reported GRAY PARTRIDGE, COOPER'S HAWK,
and SNOWY OWL in that county this week.

In Beltrami County  on Sunday, January 22, I found two beautiful
ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS along CR 710  south of Fourtown. A few COMMON RAVENS,
BLACK-BILLED MAGPIES, and SNOW BUNTINGS were also seen.

An adult SNOWY OWL was discovered along Pennington CR 20 about three
miles north of MN 1 on Sunday, January 22. Gary Huschle reported  some
GRAY PARTRIDGE  near his place  in western Pennington County.

In Marshall County, Gary Huschle saw some GRAY PARTRIDGE along CR 12 ,
and two COMMON REDPOLLS visited the bird feeder at Agassiz National
Wildlife Refuge this week.

SHARP-TAILED GROUSE were seen recently in Polk County along CR 23.

Mel and Elaine Bennefeld were birding in Norman County on Sunday where
they found eight GREATER PRAIRIE-CHICKENS 2 1/2 miles south of Twin
Valley and four along CR 27 seven miles west of Twin Valley. A GOLDEN
EAGLE was spotted three miles east of Ada along MN 200. SNOW BUNTINGS
were also seen in the area.

Mel and Elaine reported 300-400 SNOW BUNTINGS three miles south of
Hitterdahl along MN 32 in Clay County on January 22.

A VARIED THRUSH has been visiting a yard in Lake Park since early
December, but the homeowners do not wish to have birders visiting their
yard.=20

Thanks to Mel and Elaine Bennefeld, Mandy Erickson and Gary Huschle for
their reports.
