This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, December 24th 2009.

A WHITE-WINGED DOVE has been seen at the home of Warren Wegener in
Burnsville, Dakota County since the 20th. Please call before visiting.
Warren lives at 13304 Oakland Drive.

A BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK is visiting a feeder in Duluth at 6219 East
Superior Street. Take state highway 61 through Duluth to 60th Avenue
East, turn left and go two blocks to Superior Street, then turn right to
the home. The homeowners request that visitations be limited to a
maximum of five people at a time. Birders should park on only Superior
Street and should walk quietly up the driveway and before coming to the
garage, go left to the back door and watch the feeders from the sidewalk
between the driveway and the back door. Do not continue up the driveway
or enter the backyard.

A GRAY-CROWNED ROSY-INCH briefly visited a feeder at Big Sandy Lake in
Aitkin County on December 17th, but has not returned.

A male HARLEQUIN DUCK was still at Point Douglas Park in Washington
County on the 24th, as was at least one LONG-TAILED DUCK.

A SNOWY OWL was reported from an unspecified location at the
Minneapolis-St. Paul airport on the 21st. Two more were a half mile
north of the Rum Rver Drive exit in Princeton, Mille Lacs County on the
22nd.

Finally, there has been a ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK coming to the feeders
at the Lake Bemidji State Park entrance station for about a week.

The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, December 31st 2009.
