I been monitoring Snowy owl movements and this could be a good year to =
se multiple sightings. So far in Minnesota there has been a sighting in =
Eden Prairie, Rochester and FINALLY in Duluth! There are reports in =
Manitoba, Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Last year many birders had =
to go the airport lounge to view a Snowy Owl or make a quick see & leave =
at the prison camp in Duluth. As deer hunting season ends this weekend =
more local birders will be scouring places in Sax Zim and other places =
to look for owls. Also Whitefish Point have been banding several Boreal =
Owls since late October. So far no major movement of Great Grays or =
Northern Hawk Owls have been noted in the lower 48 or in Canada.
Bird wise this could be a better for more diversity of birds then last =
year. There have been more reporting of sightings on winter finches and =
waxwings. Hopefully this trend will continue thru out the winter =
months. =20
Oh to get off topic -- IF I lived in the Twin Cities I would be checking =
BlackDog lake and other gull roosting spots. If you been web surfing you =
might of seen the amount of Mew Gulls being found in N. Dakota & S. =
Dakota, and Michigan and Ill. IF I lived in SE Minnesota I would be =
checking the Miss. River for swallows and see you can find a first state =
record Cave Swallow. I do not believe they are going to survive the =
temps today in Duluth --high 20's YIKES!
Suppose to snow again tonight! GREAAAT!=20
