Minnesota Birding Report – Feb. 18, 2005

As of February 13th, the gray-morph GYRFALCON was still in Dakota County near the junction of Dakota County Road 42 and State Highway 55.

GREAT GRAY OWLS and NORTHERN HAWK OWLS are still easy to find across northern Minnesota, and northern Aitkin County appears to be the best place to look. Two places to check would be Aitkin County Road 16 south of the town of Tamarack, and Aitkin County Road 4 west of State Highway 65.

A Great Gray Owl was reported from Brooklyn Park, in Hennepin County, on February 12th. It was seen along Edinbrook Terrace between Regent Avenue and Zane Avenue North. On the 17th, what was presumably the same bird was reported just northwest of this location along the entry road to Oak Grove Park.

The two HARLEQUIN DUCKS are still at Agate Bay in Two Harbors, in Lake County, and the TOWNSEND’S SOLITAIRE was still present at 40th East and Cooke Street in Duluth on February 13th.
