[mou] Gunflint birding?
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, Chris Fagyal Senior Software Engineer United Defense, L.P. ASD Fridley, MN (763) 572-5320 chris.fag...@udlp.com

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

[mou] Unconfirmed GGO Washington County
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. Sharon Stiteler (and Denny Martin) at the Wayzata Wild Bird Store

[mou] Northern Saw-whet Owl at the Bass Ponds, Bloomington
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. Bob Williams, Bloomington =20

[mou] Red Wing to LaCrosse
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! -- Kelly Larson Feathered Friend Wild Bird Store Red Wing, MN
