On Saturday morning, Bill Stauffer and I found 2 GREAT GRAY OWLS on
Pietz's Road about 3/10th mile north of C.R. 18 at 9:00. We checked
back later in the day and on Sunday too but didn't see them either
time. Although we didn't personally see the VARIED THRUSH , there were
several who did see the bird at a feeder about a block south of the
Citgo station. Also seen this past weekend: a flock of about 50
BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS on third street n.w. in Aitkin, 2 flocks of SNOW
BUNTINGS on C.R. 1 north of Aitkin, a SHARP-SHINNED HAWK eating a
sparrow at my feeder, 3 NORTHERN SHRIKES, PINE GROSBEAKS, redpolls.
