Hi all,

The World's Coldest Birdathon, the BRRRRDathon did not live up to its name with 
temps in the 30s.

But, all had a great time!

An amazing 73 species were found by 19 folks in 7 teams.

Highlights included:

Greater and Lesser Scaup in Washburn, WI

Spruce Grouse (Lake Co, MN Hwy2, 2 mi N of Sand River)

2 Sharp-shinned Hawks

8 species of gulls (including the Glaucous-winged Gull in Duluth)

4 Great Gray Owls (3 in Sax-Zim and 1 in Koochiching County)

Am. 3-toed Woodpecker (Lake County)

Varied Thrush (Duluth)

Bohemian Waxwing (only 2! ...in Big Falls, MN)

2 Hoary Redpolls

and 2 Yellow-rumped Warblers! (one on Northland College campus Ashland, WI and 
on at Boy Scout Landing in Duluth)


WINNING TEAMS:

2-day event: Dave Benson, Lars Benson, John Ellis (53 species)

1-day event: Stephen Bockhold, Annmarie Geniusz, Karen Stubenvoll (30 species)

non-motorized "wintergreen" event: Tim Bates & Andrew Webster (bicycle!) 33

Teams birded from Koochiching County Minnesota on the Canadian Border all the

and Sax-Zim were also heavily birded.
