This is the Minnesota Birding Report for December 23rd, 2010.

In Duluth, an adult SLATY-BACKED GULL was found on the 18th by Karl

GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULLS.

On the 18th, a HARLEQUIN DUCK was at the mouth of the French River in
Duluth. On the same day during the Fergus Falls CBC in Otter Tail
County, a HARLEQUIN DUCK was discovered by Steve Millard near the
railroad trestle in downtown Fergus Falls.

Two SNOWY OWLS were in the Duluth Harbor on the 18th.

On the 19th, a TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE was at 15th Avenue and 8th Street in
Two Harbors, Lake County. On the 17th, two and possibly three TOWNSEND'S

On December 17th, Beth Siverhus counted five NORTHERN HAWK OWLS along
state highway 72 in Lake of the Woods and Beltrami counties.

In the Sax-Zim Bog, two NORTHERN HAWK OWLS are being seen along Stone

north of Sax Road and another was found north of Sax Road just east of
Admiral Road. And a hawk owl was along US Highway 2, six-and-a-quarter
miles northwest of Floodwood.

Two GREAT GRAY OWLS were on McDavitt Road about four miles north of Sax
