This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, February 17th. As of February 13th, the gray-morph GYRFALCON was still in Dakota County near the junction of Dakota County Road 42 and state highway 55. GREAT GRAY OWLS and NORTHERN HAWK OWLS are still easy to find across northern Minnesota, and northern Aitkin County appears to be the best place to look. Two places to check would be Aitkin County Road 16 south of the town of Tamarack, and Aitkin County Road 4 west of state highway 65. A Great Gray Owl was reported from Brooklyn Park, Hennepin County, on the 12th. It was seen along Edinbrook Terrace between Regent Avenue and Zane Avenue North. On the 17th, what was presumably the same bird was reported just northwest of here along the entry road to Oak Grove Park. The two HARLEQUIN DUCKS are still at Agate Bay in Two Harbors, Lake County, and the TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE was still present at 40th East and Cooke Street in Duluth on the 13th. This state-wide birding report is brought to you and financially supported by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union (MOU). The MOU is Minnesota's oldest and largest bird club.
