Hello, Betsy and I headed up to Duluth today to look for the Gray Crowned Rosy Finches, Northern Hawk Owl, and to check out the harbor/canal.
The feeders are gone and so are the GCRF. Common Goldeneyes, Common Mergansers, and Mallards in the canal. Someone said they saw a female Long Tailed Duck with the Goldeneyes earlier but I could not relocate it. The Northern Hawk Owl is still hanging out along Rice Lake Road, just north of Martin Road, in Duluth (or whatever the town just north of Duluth is). It was spotted on a pole along Rice Lake Road (Cty Rd 4) about 100 yards north of the Coffee Cabin and flew across the road to the top of a tree where it sat the entire I time I watched and photographed it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dobak/387476045/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/dobak/387478127/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/dobak/387478130/ Since the Hawk Owl was what I really wanted to see, it was a great day.
