I have the pleasure to be traveling to Minneapolis for business from 13 - 1= 5 December, with 14 December set aside for BIRDING. You need to have your priorities in order, right? I'm interested in chasing the following birds as potential life birds (base= d on my review of what is likely in the area in December): Spruce Grouse Ruffed Grouse Sharp-tailed Grouse Snowy Owl Great Gray Owl Northern Hawk Owl Boreal Owl Northern Saw-whet Owl Black-backed woodpecker Varied Thrush White-winged Crossbill Common Redpoll Hoary Redpoll Evening Grosbeak I'm interested in any information that someone may have on good places to bird with these target species in mind. I'm thinking of Sax Zim Bog. But, I know that there may be some good feeders out there for some of the latter birds on my list - hence the RFI. Also - because I have only one day on the ground, I'm certainly interested in having some local assistance in chasing these birds. I will have a rental car, will pick up all travel costs including meals. I'm even willin= g to pay a reasonable guide fee for those of you that may be professional guides. You can contact me directly at mitchellhait AT gmail.com Thanks in advance to what I know will be a great outpouring of pertinent information. ------=_Part_12129_14596510.1133657338688 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline I have the pleasure to be traveling to Minneapolis for business from 13 - 15 December, with 14 December set aside for BIRDING.
