Greetings MN birders! I'm one of those out-of-towners planning a visit this weekend to check out the owl action, but I'm also in search of some more Northern specialty lifers while I'm in the area. I would really appreciate anyone offering information about what is being seen at their feeders and if I may come and take a look in the Duluth/Sax-Zim/Superior National Forest/and parts south area. I'm specifically looking for either kind of Redpolls, Pine Grosbeaks, Evening Grosbeaks, Varied Thrush, Shrikes and Red Crossbills. I'm traveling alone and would certainly be respectful of your property and privacy - you set the limits and I'll obey. Keep those Loon, Grouse and other species reports coming in too. It is great information that I hope to follow for more lifers.
Also, kind of a weird question - has anyone heard the GGOs or other owls vocalizing in MN this winter? Any recommendations about where to hear wolves howling at night? I might as well max out on the North Woods experience. If you want to share information, and share off-line, I can be reached at [email protected] If you are inclined to share breaking information over the weekend, my cell phone number is 202-431-0259. Many thanks! Denise Ryan Washington, DC
