[mou] Gunflint birding?

2004-12-17 Thread Chris Fagyal
All,

Has anyone been birding up the gunflint trail yet this winter,
specifically farther up around Gunflint Lodge and surrounding areas?  I
was just curious what the Great-Grey/Northern Hawk-Owl situation was up
there, as well as the prevalance of winter finches (Are Evening
Grosbeaks back this year?  How many Pine Grosbeaks, White-winged/Red
Crossbills, Common/Hoary Redpolls etc).

I'm trying to decide if I take my New Years trip up there this year
again or just head up to the Duluth area.

Thanks in advance,

[mou] RE: [MnBird] question: owl invasion duration

2004-12-17 Thread Alt, Mark
Betsy Kerr wrote

I recall reading a while back on this list someone's suggestion that=20
the northern owls were likely to stay around until spring and even=20
become more visible later in the winter.  Can I have confidence in=20
this prediction?  What do the experts say?

I am definitely not an expert, Mark Alt responds, yet it is safe
to say Owls won't head north until the snow melts. As the food supply
diminishes from predatory pressure, they may move further south, and
they may wait to be in poor condition before they do that. This is the
tragic Owl at a feeder in listless condition people allude to
occasionally. It all figures into biological models involving carrying
capacity, food chains, and weather effects.
Great Grays and Northern Hawk Owls eat the Meadow Vole voles for
their primary prey in the winter, whereas in many parts of their range,
Boreal Owls rely on the Red-backed Vole for their primary food source
year-round. Red-backed Voles do not commonly reproduce in the winter,
unlike Meadow Voles, which are able to reproduce at 2 months of age.
Meadow Voles occur in more open grassy areas that are slightly damp in
warm weather. Red-backed Voles occupy mixed deciduous conifer forests.
Boreals are known for their penchant to hang about woodpiles and sheds
in the winter; this is where Red-backed Voles, White-footed Mice and
Deer Mice can be commonly found.=20
These owls may set up territories and try to attract a mate if they find
prey, roosting and nesting habitat, so it is critical for us to not
prevent them from occupying proper habitat at this time of year. We
should mark their locations and look and listen for them in March to see
if they are staying.=20
I would applaud anyone who finds a consistent Boreal Owl roost
and doesn't report it to list servers or to me, for the benefit of the
owl. It is important for them or anyone to follow up to see what becomes
of this specific bird. An owl found feeding actively should be very
cautiously observed. I read where a Boreal hunting from a perch scans an
area in a 15 meter radius from its perch.  This means if you are within
50 feet of the bird, you are definitely negatively impacting the hunting
opportunities of the bird, if you are within 65 feet; you are probably
adversely affecting the prey activity in the hunting range of the Owl.
Owls hear the same low frequencies we do, but according to Jim Duncan,
they hear them 9 times as strongly. Car engines can interfere with their
sonic scanning as well as us walking around. My advice is, as long as
you are thinking in terms of you impact on the owl, you will be able to
determine what constitutes appropriate behavior for you as an observer.
As in most stewardship opportunities, apathy and ignorance are the
problem, if we approach these birds and are informed and caring toward
sour impact on them, we will do the right thing.  I am going to jump off
this stump now before I fall and break an ankle.

One of our delivery guys told us he saw what he thinks is a great gray owl on 
Tuesday.

Here are the directions:

McKusick Road off County 5 just north of County 12 and slightly west of Hwy 95, 
on north and east end of lake.  

With how mobile the St Paul Great Gray is, it would be a good idea to check the 
surrounding areas.

[mou] Northern Saw-whet Owl at the Bass Ponds, Bloomington

2004-12-17 Thread Williams, Bob
My friend Loren Faaborg came by my office today to tell me about a
Northern Saw-whet Owl he found yesterday at the Bass Ponds.  We
immediately went down to relocate the bird and it was in a small cedar
tree on the left side of the trail that goes straight south from the
lower parking lot about a third of the way along the trail.  It was
right up against the trunk about 10-15 feet off the ground.  Let's hope
it is still there tomorrow for the CBC.

I set out this afternoon to look for the Great Grey Owl in Mille Lacs
that Denny Martin had reported.  I wasn't sure which road to follow to
find it, but the one I chose turned out to be the right one for Northern
Hawk Owl instead.
 
From Hwy 27 on the west side of Wahkon, turn south on CR23.  In 0.3
miles, CR23 curves right (west).  Continue straight ahead instead, off
of CR23 onto 60th Ave and go 0.7 miles.  The Hawk Owl was in the trees
on the right.

[mou] Red Wing to LaCrosse

2004-12-17 Thread Kelly Larson
On my way back from a family visit to LaCrosse today I counted Eagles
along the river. The ice has taken hold of the shore line. Only a few
eagles were seen south of Wabasha. At the first pull-off north of Reads
Landing, 15 Bald Eagles, most sitting on the ice or actively hunting. A
large raft of C. Mergansers made a nice backdrop for them. At the second
pull-off north of Reads Landing, 23 on ice, in trees, and actively
hunting. Another 32 high above kettling south. Again a huge, huge, raft
of C. Mergansers out in mid channel. I made several other stops,
including Lake City, Frontenac and Red Wing's Colville Park (none
there). I counted a total 92 Bald Eagles between Reads Landing and
Frontenac.

Also,
1 Belted Kingfisher, cty 2 at Wells Creek bridge (Villa Maria) in
Frontenac, Goodhue County.

At my feeders in Red Wing
A new high count of 5 Tufted Titmice. The pair that first appeared in
Oct. 2003 stuck around all summer and raised a family.
I have enjoyed a flock of 2 dozen Pine Sisken for 4 weeks. They have
driven off most of the Goldfinch with their aggressive table manners.
I'm feeding a custom blend of chip sunflower, nyjer and hemp!
After 10 months of trying to appease the woodpecker gods the local pair
of Pileated are now daily visitors to my large suet feeder and a mammoth
pole mounted peanut cage.
Red-breasted Nuthatches move in and out to fast to count.
Still waiting for Redpolls...

Moving to Bemidji on New Years Eve!
