This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, January 1st 2009.

In Duluth, a male BARROW'S GOLDENEYE was seen on December 26th near 21st
Avenue East in a small patch of open water of Lake Superior and with a
flock of Common Goldeneye.

A NORTHERN HAWK OWL was seen on the 22nd near Grand Marais, Cook County,
at the intersection of U.S. Highway 61 and Birch Drive. North of the
Sax-Zim bog, a NORTHERN HAWK OWL was seen on the 31st at the junction of
St. Louis County roads 7 and 310. Another was south of here at the
intersection of county roads 28 and 7. And in the southern part of St.
Louis County, a NORTHERN HAWK OWL was seen just north of Cloquet along
county road 33 about a quarter mile south of Maple Grove Road. Back in
the bog, a GREAT GRAY OWL can be seen a mile and a half east of county
road 7 on county road 232, and both an AMERICAN THREE-TOED WOODPECKER

A VARIED THRUSH is being seen in Duluth along the 2200 block of West 4th

A TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE is still at the Ann Lake campground of Sherburne
NWR in Sherburne County. It was most recently reported on the 24th. On
