MN Birders... I'm sorry for the late report but we just got back home and have access to a computer. John Bissell and I came up and birded Aitkin, St. Louis, and Dakota Counties (plus a few other spots) this weekend. It was a great time as usual. Besides some of the birds reported today and yesterday to the list, we also saw: Sax-Zim (1/19) ---------- - Boreal Chickadees on Lake Nichols Rd and on Stickney Rd (north of Arkola) - Gray Jays on Lake Nichols Rd (2) and Admiral Rd (3) - Northern Shrikes on Admiral Rd and McDavitt Rd - White-winged Crossbills (8) on Arkola just west of Owl Ave Duluth area -------------- - White-winged Scoter in Canal Park canal - Long-tailed Duck in Canal Park canal - Harlequin Ducks (male and female) in Canal Park in the corner of the lake - Townsend's Solitaire at Park Point across from the public restrooms - Snowy Owl on a crane by the big dirt/sand mounds east of Goodwill Superior, WI ---------------- - 1W Thayer's and 1W Iceland Gulls at landfill - ~400 other gulls on the ice off of Wisconsion Point (too far to ID them!) Two Harbors --------------- - American Three-toed Woodpecker (female) behind the lighthouse - Red-breasted Mergansers in Agate Bay Dakota Co. ------------- - searched for the Gyrfalcon for around 3 hours this morning but didn't see it; also missed the previously-reported Mountain Bluebird Good birding...
