Dec. 10, 7 p.m.
If any of you see an immature redtail with leather hanging from one leg and a
large bell on each ankle it would be GREATLY appreciated if you could post it

My husband called about a half hour ago to report that he saw two flocks of
Sandhill Cranes, 20 and then 30 to 40, flying north to south over the house

Northern Hawk Owl - west side of hwy 169 at county hwy 18.
Great Gray Owls - one at county 18 - 320th Pl (Pietz's Rd) intersection - 9:00
am.
Second Great Gray observed on county 18, 0.6 miles west of 320th Pl. - 9:30 am.
I would like to add a couple opf sightings to Doug Kieser's impressive
list. I had a NORTHERN HAWK OWL along county road 1. It was north of
the diversion ditch bridge just as the pavement ends. I assume this is
the same one that was reported a couple of weeks ago but hasn't been
seen again
I would add only a few items to the postings from Warren Nelson and Doug Kieser
from earlier today.
We were also birding the same areas as they have described, with many sightings
of rough-legged hawks, a few shrikes, and only one hawk owl. We did see several
late American tree sparrows on
A first-cycle Iceland Gull was seen on Lake Calhoun this afternoon.
