While doing my weekly gull survey of the Duluth-Superior harbor today, I found
a record high number of Glaucous Gulls. While birding at WLSSD in the Duluth
harbor with Jan and Larry Kraemer, I counted 34 Glaucous Gulls among 1003
Herring Gulls, 3 Iceland Gulls, 4 Great Black-backed Gulls, 5 Thay
We found 2 snowy owls between 5 pm and 5:30 pm on 700th street in Dodge county
today. The first one was found at the intersection of 700th street and 150th
avenue at 5pm. It was the whiter of the two owls but still had some dark
coloration. The second owl was found halfway between 130th and 140t
Thought I should pass this on to the list serv although I haven't seen a post
about this spot. Word has spread the last few days about a spot in Crow Wing
County where Black-billed Magpies could be seen. The area in question is on
private land where a butcher has been dumping carcasses and off
Today on Child Lake between Hackensack and Longville I observed a pair of
Trumpeter Swans just sitting on the snow covered ice. One slept and one was on
guard. They were there for two plus hours. They stayed put when fisherman on
snowmobiles came within 50-60 yrds of the birds as they went to t
Since I have seen so many merlins at one end or the other of Lake Superior
over the years and do not entirely trust myself to identify birds by size I
was cautious, but my first impression of this brownish-grey falcon was
peregrine. I was walking the footpath enclosed with grass along the tops of

I have a belated report of a Townsend's Solitaire seen by Jay
Hammernick along the Croftville Road east of Grand Marais on January
25 and 26. On the 25th it was at fire #1423 and 1427, and on the
26th it was at #1461.
Jay also saw the two White-winged Scoters in Duluth on February 2nd

Butch Ukura and I birded around the area this past weekend and found a
number of really good birds. We found a NORTHERN GOSHAWK in Crow Wing
County along Spruce Grove Road, just off of C.R.11. The SNOWY OWL is
still north of Aitkin near the junction of C.R. 1 and C.R.22, along the
dirt road tha
I was also out this morning and did not find the owl. I did see a shrike on
710th St, and another one on Hwy 56 south of Dodge Center.
Returning home, I saw a rough-legged hawk perched in a tree where Hwy 77
crosses the MN River. Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to get a
photo, as t
I went to look for the Snowy Owl reported on CR 42 west of Hastings without
success. I arrived at around 7:15am as did one other birder. We combed the area
near Idell Ave. and I found nothing of particular interest other than a large
flock of American Tree Sparrows to the north. I'm not sure exa
This bird was seen on Prarieview Drive just North of 142nd Ave. There is a
creek there with a small bridge over it.

I made a visit to Sax-Zim bog yesterday with some friends from Hawk Ridge.
It was one of my friend's birthday's, and we decided to take it easy for
the day and enjoy strolling around the bog. One of the most-exciting finds
of the day (in addition to the fun boreal birds) was a briefly-seen
