I was on the road most of today completing the final Winter Owl
Survey of season. No owls, no owls, and again no owls. Last weekend I
finally drove north of Waskish to see the owls on Jeanie's route just
to prove to myself that owls do exist. (I found 1 NH and 1 GG!)
Today...
American Crow - 31, Clearwater & Beltrami
Common Raven - 13, Clearwater & Beltrami, several were performing
courtship rolls in flight
Black-billed Magpie - 3, Clearwater
Blue Jay - dozens, some were holding conventions
Bald Eagle - 7, one in Clearwater & six in Beltrami, (six adults, one
juvenile)
Pine Grosbeak - 4, Beltrami
Sharp-tailed Grouse -1, Beltrami
Northern Shrike - 1, Beltrami
I'm officially logging my first sign of Spring today.
Blooming Willow in wetland areas (sorry I don't know my Pussy species)
This is an indication of just how desperate we are in the North Woods
for any sign of Spring...
I had to cross a ditch crotch deep in snow to get a little Pussy Willow!
