For the past few days, we have been having winter weather, with the
morning temperature here this morning at or near zero in Thief River
Falls. Snow carpets the ground, and bird activity has increased at the
feeders. Species variety has , however, decreased. Most feeders are
hosting the typical winter residents and late fall visitors.

In Kittson County, Larry Wilebski reported that a BALTIMORE ORIOLE is
still at his feeders. A Leucistic DARK-EYED JUNCO is in the flock of
birds he is feeding.

November 4, while two COMMON LOONS remained on the lake on November 8.

Various observers reported SURF SCOTER, WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS, BLACK
SCOTERS, and a LONG-TAILED DUCK on Lake Osakis in Todd County this week.
NASHVILLE WARBLER was also reported.

Gary and Marion Otnes, reporting from Otter Tail County saw NORTHERN
SHRIKE, ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK, RED-TAILED HAWK, CEDAR WAXWINGS, an AMERICAN
KESTREL , RING-NECKED PHEASANT, TRUMPETER SWANS and five RED CROSSBILLS
in the Fergus Falls area. On a lake near the Buse township hall they
found BLACK SCOTER and two HORNED GREBES. Charlene Nelson reported a
flock of 200 SANDHILL CRANES in Otter Tail County.

At Deep Portage Learning Center in Cass County, Dale Yerger observed
BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS on November 6.

Ben Eckhoff continues to report a late BALTIMORE ORIOLE at the visitor
center at Lake Carlos SP in Douglas County as recently as November 8.

A RED CROSSBILL visited the home of Charlene Nelson near Elbow Lake in
Grant County on November 5. Other species seen there included
RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET, GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET, HARRIS'S SPARROW, FOX
SPARROW, and PINE SISKIN. Wayne Perala reported that the ibis have left
the N. Ottawa Impoundment as of November 8, but a GREAT HORNED OWL, some
