This isn't really Minnesota birding, but it's close enough for
Minnesota birders to visit.
Last night I went with Stan Tekiela on his Crex Meadows evening crane
viewing field trip. At dusk we watched at least 4 short-eared owls
flying around and harassing a first year northern harrier--quite a
fun show. Other species of interest including snow buntings, lapland
longspurs, rough-legged hawk, merlin, trumpeter swans and sandhill
cranes.
Another interesting observation was seeing a red-shouldered hawk
perched on a highway sign on hwy 35 going north just past North Branch.
