The evening grosbeak flock had really thinned out since Friday here at the
resort;
due to the very cold nightly subzero temps -40 and -35 last week. This morning
with a light snow falling more moderate temps the Evening Grosbeak were ready
and waiting for the fresh bird seed around 8:00 AM.
Sorry I forgot to add my name to my earlier post about the Evening Grosbeak.
The details about the grosbeak will be on my earlier post.

I got a call today about a small owl that died (last week) in a yard full
of bird feeders - two miles east of Warren and one mile north of State Hwy

A friend alerted me to the presence of a Great Gray Owl at her house,
along County Road 7, approximately 7 miles west of Grand Marais. It has

For those of us who use eBird, there's a great app, Bird Log, that
allows us to plug our sightings directly into eBird from our iPhone or
iPad. And we can see what's been reported to eBird, from Minnesota or
anywhere else, with the BirdsEye app. That's a great help when
traveling.

There was a very white snowy owl today along Mc Leod Co hwy 18 or Renville Co
11 (county hwy north of US 212) tonight. I would guess it was north of Buffalo

specific.

Today I led a birding trip through the North Shore, as well as Sax-Zim Bog.
Our first bird of the day was a BOREAL OWL that we found. As the day
progressed, we found a SNOWY OWL, two GREAT GRAY OWLS (at the same time),

Sax-Zim Bog was fantastic, as we
