There are currently some nice birds in the Bemidji area. A Snowy Owl has been seen in the alfalfa fields near Horace May School on U.S. Highway 71 about two miles of south of Bemidji and U.S. Hi. #2. There is a Great Gray Owl at Itasca State Park near the U of M Biological Station (Clearwater County) for the last few days, usually seen around 10 a.m. I have a report and photos of a male Varied Thrush near Three Island Lake County Park by Turtle River in Beltrami County and a Townsend Solitaire in Hubbard County in the Nary area along the Paul Bunyan Recreational Trail. The Townsend’s Solitaire is the first record for Hubbard County in over 35 years, at least in MOU records.
