Northeastern Clay County, a few miles southeast of Felton Prairie - large
mature Bald Eagle in the middle of a field feeding on a deer carcass. More
than 300 hundred Rusty Blackbirds feeding near a large grain elevator
complex in the same area as the Bald Eagle.

The Roseville Varied Thrush is an easy find and quick stake-out; I've
just come from there, and enjoyed great views of the bird.
Take Snelling Ave. north, past Rosedale and past County C; County C2
is not much farther north, On C2 go right, or east, crossing Hamline,
and proceed east to Merrill.
Anyone looking for COMMOM REDPOLLS, SNOW BUNTINGS, and HORNED LARKS should
take a drive on County Road 26 from just south of the Rothsay SWMA ( just
north of Rothsay) over to SR 75 south, I had a few a hundred of each on that
drive.. On the way up there on County Road 52 just south of Lawndale I
This morning I arrived at Wisconsin Point at sunrise, and saw roughly 50
Common Redpolls at the end of Wisconsin Point, where the Superior Entry is
located. What a fun time it is to watch those little guys.
Just something I pondered about this morning... think of how amazing these

8 miles north of Austin, in the back yard, not only a flicker but a red shafted
flicker.

Sorry about the email that was broadcasted to everyone, when I thought it was
only to Doug.
After some very nice responses, I now know where the location is at, and how to
treat my back.
Luckily that was one of the most tame emails I've sent to Mr. Kieser. The only
thing I am worried about
A dozen WW Crossblls in the Eagan Fire Station spruce trees located a long
block north of Covington Lane on the west side of Galaxie at 2:05PM.

Around noon today I got a barred owl along the Buffalo River just below and
east of the MSUM Science Center on the east edge of Buffalo River State Park
in Clay County. I flushed an owl in this same area back in November that I
suspect was this same bird.

Greetings from the FOREST along the Straight RIver in Rice County:
I'm sorry, I too often hit some key(?) which eliminates my messages and I have
to start all over.
Kirsten and I birded north to Farmington, in Dakota County, then west to
Highway 23 and south to home.
Kirsten and I saw a
The bird made an appearance in the previously mentioned trees at the corner of
C2 and Merrill, but then flew to the NE to another fruiting tree north of C2 on
Merrill. It was seen again at 3:30 and then I left.
Not a great background on this image, but the bird shows nicely:
Observed a couple of Rough-legged Hawks attempting to catch helpful winds as
they were apparently headed up the west fork of the Des Moines river this
afternoon in the company of a Bald Eagle. If this wasn't sincere movement in
the direction of the breeding grounds, it sure seemed like it. I
Hi, birders:
Had an excellent morning birding western Brown County. The highlight was
finding a Townsend's Solitaire in a large conifer/juniper stand at Bashaw WMA.
This is located a few miles NW of Comfrey and it is on the west side of 380th
Ave. It is roughly half way between Brown Co. Rd.
I set out with high hopes this afternoon to try to find White-winged
Crossbills in Wright, Meeker, and McLeod Counties.
The first stop I made was at Bendix Elementary School in Annandale
(Wright County), where I found 3 birds in the line of spruces between
the school and the adjacent football
Perhaps of interest: Five Red-winged Blackbirds seen today in SE Morrison
County, 2 were females. I suspect these are wintering birds with the 10
Starlings in the same tree. Many Common Redpoll flocks including Benton County
w/ one female Hoary, few Horned Larks, Red-tailed Hawk pairs.

This weekend Chad Gustafson, Dave Bartkey, Dedrick Benz, and I birded
the southwest corner of Minnesota in hopes of finding some winter
species. Perhaps most notable was a single female White-winged
Crossbill feeding on a White Spruce in Luverne, Rock County. In
searching for this species
