*Chisago County*: (had to run to a friends house - saw several* R-T Hawks*along State Hwy 95) *Bald Eagle* - mature *Ring-necked Pheasant* *Barred Owl *- on Cty 26 ~ 1.5 mi. S. of Hwy 8 - bonus bird, as it flew across the road in front of me - I saw it leave it's perch *Anoka Cty:* (spent some time in the late afternoon cruising* Carlos Avery *hoping for short-eared owls) *N. Harrier* - male *N. Shrike* *Bald Eagle* - mature *B.C. Chickadee *- only 1! *Am. Tree Sparrow* - 2 Not a very birdy day overall, but some quality species for the time spent.
