Hi Minnesota Birders, Thanks for the great information! The conference I'm attending concludes on Friday, and I'm driving up to the Duluth area afterward. Any updates on my target list (see below)? Is there a good stakeout for Northern Hawk-owl this year?
There seem to be a paucity of reports of Pine Grosbeak, Evening Grosbeak, and Bohemian Waxwing so far this year. Are the Grosbeaks reliably visiting any feeders now?
