A HARLEQUIN DUCK is still being seen on the Mississippi River near Point Douglas, Washington County, and it was most recently reported on the 26th.
The NORTHERN HAWK OWL in the Sax-Zim Bog was relocated on the 24th along St. Louis County Road 7, half a mile south of Stone Lake Road.
The most unusual report of the day comes from Anoka County where a BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKER was reported on the 28th at Bunker Hills Regional Park near Andover. The bird was seen in the trees along the east side of "A" road about a quarter of a mile north of the Bunker Beach water park.
The TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE that has been behind the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul was still present on the 23rd. On the same day, a TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE was in a grove of evergreens at Lake Rebecca Park Reserve in western Hennepin County, though I have no directions. And the TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE was still present in Sherburne County on the 27th, along the snowmobile trail at Ann Lake. From the junction of County Road 5 and 253rd Street, go east for a mile, park in the small parking lot, and walk the southern trail for about a quarter of a mile.
