[mou] Northern Hawk Owl in Duluth / No GC Rosy Finches
Derek and all: The Gray-crowned Rosy Finches are most likely still around because as many birders found out when they came to see the finches there are no feeders. The finches fed on top of the green flower pot, picked at the old sunflower plants and also on seeds that were tossed on the ground. Also, when you come to see the finches and they are not there when you arrive, well you might have to wait anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour.

Pat Rice and I were there about 9am Sunday, and the three Gray-crowned Rosy-finches arrived ( right on schedule ) at 9:55. They came in high over the building, then dropped down under a parked car and worked their way up to the flower pot.They stayed about 10 minutes and flew away across the street. After that we drove the Hedbom road were it was pretty quiet, but we did see some White-winged Crossbills, and one Black-backed Woodpecker. We heard another but did not see that one. Road conditions were very good as of Sunday afternoon.

[mou] Northern Hawk Owl in Duluth / No GC Rosy Finches
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.
