This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, December 13th 2007.

The potential first state record INCA DOVE may still be in Two Harbors,
Lake County, but it hasn't been seen since the 7th. The bird had spent
much of its time in the backyard of the house at the southeastern corner
of 3rd Street and 2nd Avenue.

On the morning of December 13th, Bill Litkey found a male BARROW'S
GOLDENEYE on the Mississippi River from the dike at Hardman and Grand
Avenues in South St. Paul.

Two GREAT GRAY OWLS were reported from the Sax Zim Bog area of St. Louis
County, both on the 13th. Directions to the first owl are to drive north
from county road 133 on county road 29 to Centerline Road. Go east to
where to road bends north and look for an alder marsh where the owl has
been seen for several days. The second GREAT GRAY OWL is found by
driving south off county road 133 along county road 47. The road will
bend to the east. Look for the owl where the roads turns back to the
south. On the 10th, another GREAT GRAY OWL was along Aitkin County Road
18, a third of a mile east of U.S. Highway 169.

On the 8th, there were two TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRES in downtown Two
Harbors, Lake County, at South Avenue and 1st Street.

The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, December 20th 2007.
