Hi folks, I am a Missouri birder and I will be attending a meeting in St.Paul next week October, 14-19 (Tuesday-Sunday). I am going to drive and I will have some time to go birding while I'm in Minnesota. I have a wish list of birds I'd like to see (mostly northern specialties). I understand that it not the season yet, but If you could provide any advice on where I can find them I would greatly appreciate that. Any other advice on birding the Minneapolis area will be also very very appreciated.
Here is the wishlist (primary): Great gray owl Northern hawk owl Boreal owl Black-backed woodpecker Gray jay Evening grosbeak Chestnut-collared longspur Secondary list: Tree-toed woodpecker Bohemian waxwing Common redpoll Thanks a lot Good birding Peter Peter Kondrashov, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Biology Northwest Missouri State University
