[mou] Northern Hawk Owl in Duluth / No GC Rosy Finches

[Jeanie Joppru]

Pat Rice and I were there about 9am Sunday, and the three Gray-crowned
Rosy-finches arrived ( right on schedule ) at 9:55. They came in high
over the building, then dropped down under a parked car and worked their
way up to the flower pot.They stayed about 10 minutes and flew away
across the street.

After that we drove the Hedbom road were it was pretty quiet, but we did
see some White-winged Crossbills, and one Black-backed Woodpecker. We
heard another but did not see that one. Road conditions were very good
as of Sunday afternoon.
