This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Friday, January 26,
2007 sponsored by the Detroit Lakes Regional Chamber of Commerce. You

It doesn't seem possible that January is almost over, and we have only a
dusting of snow except in the woods of the northwest. Bird variety is
somewhat different from the usual with some flickers, robins, and juncos
being reported all winter.
Tom and Sheryl Smith reported 24 SHORT-EARED OWLS in Wilkin County on
January 22. A female NORTHERN HARRIER was also seen along CR 15. On
January 25, Connie Norheim and Becky Oberlander found a pair of
ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS at the Rothsay WMA, and another along CR 52. Also
along CR 52 were about 100 SNOW BUNTINGS.
Mary Broten reported 5 swans flying over US 10 south of Perham in Otter
Tail County on January 22. These were likely TRUMPETER SWANS.
Connie Norheim and Becky Oberlander spotted a NORTHERN SHRIKE at Felton
Prairie in Clay County on January 25.
An adult SNOWY OWL was seen by Shannon Linder about 2 miles west of
Gentilly in Polk County on January 20.
Diana Morkassel in Marshall County east of Warren reported three GRAY
JAYS coming to their yard on January 23. Other species being seen
include NORTHERN FLICKER, DARK-EYED JUNCO, PINE GROSBEAK, and COMMON
REDPOLL.
>From Beltrami County, Mary Lou Marchand reported a COOPER'S HAWK in her
yard in Bemidji on January 19. She also saw RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER, 30
PURPLE FINCHES, and two PINE SISKINS.
Beth Siverhus was in Itasca County at Dixon Lake last weekend where she
saw a BARRED OWL, RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER, COMMON RAVENS, 5 PINE
GROSBEAKS, 14 EVENING GROSBEAKS, and 50 AMERICAN GOLDFINCHES among
others.
In Kittson County, Larry Wilebski saw a SNOWY OWL near Orleans on
January 18. He also reported three to five GRAY JAYS coming regularly to
his cabin northwest of Lancaster. Other species included BALD EAGLE, and
SHORT-EARED OWL.
