This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday January 31st, 2013.

The BARROW'S GOLDENEYE first found on Christmas Day is still being seen
at the Superior Entry of Park Point in Duluth, though it is reportedly
absent or difficult to find during much of the day.

A HARLEQUIN DUCK was reported on January 4th at Lock and Dam Number 4 on
the Mississippi River and was still there on the 29th. It's best looked
for below the dam east of Kellogg in Wabasha County. Don Paul reported a
GREAT BLUE HERON on the 26th at the northeast corner of 84th Street and
Normandale in Bloomington, Hennepin County.

Two SNOWY OWLS are being seen in the southwestern corner of Dodge County
in the vicinity of 690th Street and 120th Avenue. On the 19th, Kelly
Larson found a NORTHERN HAWK OWL along Clearwater County Road 30, three
miles west of Shevlin. Another was seen on the 20th by Jim Rataczak in
Aitkin County, on the east side of state highway 65 about five miles
south of McGregor. And a couple of BOREAL OWLS are being seen
intermittently along state highway 61 between Two Harbors and Split Rock
Lighthouse. One of the better places to look is downtown Two Harbors.

On the 25th, Shawn Conrad found two BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKERS at Scenic
State Park in northeastern Itasca County. Both were foraging at the
south end of the spruce bog on the Fire Tower Trail.

Several CAROLINA WRENS are still being reported from feeding stations
around the state. Paul Gunderson of Big Lake Township in Sherburne
County has had one at his feeder since November 23rd, and Sharon Wood
has had one visiting her Bloomington feeder since the 28th.

Two TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRES are now at the Ann Lake Campground in
Sherburne County. Other interesting reports called in include
observations of AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN, PIED-BILLED GREBE,
YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER, NORTHERN SHRIKE, HORNED LARK, SPOTTED TOWHEE,
HARRIS'S SPARROW, RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD, RED CROSSBILL, and WHITE-WINGED
CROSSBILL.

The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday February 7th, 2013.
