Visiting birders to eastern Aitkin County: The N. Hawk Owl I found yesterday is still there. Kestrel Ave or CR 31 about 3 miles north of Tamarack. The Snowy Owl 1/2 mile south of Tamarack, Kestrel Ave or CR 16 is visible again after a short absence, it was seen both yesterday and today. Pine Grosbeaks, C. Redpolls, Pine Siskins, Evening Grosbeaks, Goldfinch, Purple Finch are still at my feeder and along the road north of Tamarack. Rough-legged Hawk, N. Shrike, Gray Jay and Sharp-tailed Grouse were all seen in the Tamarack area yesterday and today. Last week we found a pair of Great Horned Owls west of McGregor along Hwy 210. Good winter birding in eastern Aitkin County. Have fun.
