[mou] Birding Today

[Michael Hendrickson]

Out with a birder from Deleware and two birders from Washington. 

Day 1:

-Hoary Redpoll: Nice male at the Derek Morse feeding station on the Blue Spruce Rd in Sax Zim Bog. Check the feeding station location on the Sax Zim Website: http://moumn.org/sax-zim/

-Great Gray Owl 
-Boreal Chickadees: 3-4 along the Admiral Rd.  
-Black-backed Woodpecker (male) Hedbom Logging Rd.

* Timber Wolf walking ahead of us along the Admiral Rd.

* Look for the Northern Hawk Owl off the Sax Rd one mile east of Co. Rd 7 two times today and the bird was not around. I heard from another birder that a local owl bander was going to capture this owl to see if it has a band on it or not.  Hopefully the Hawk Owl is still around for other birders to see! 

 Other birds seen today:

-Northern Goshawk
-Pine Grosbeaks
-Evening Grosbeaks
-Common Redpolls (several flocks in Aitkin Co.)
-Snow Buntings
-Northern Shrikes

Good Birding
