This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, December 5,
2013 sponsored by the Detroit Lakes Regional Chamber of Commerce. You
may also hear this report by calling (218)847-5743 or 1-800-433-1888.
There is no doubt anywhere in Minnesota that winter is really here. In
the northwest, snow depth varies, but I think I can say that all is
white. As of today, roads are improving , but secondary roads and city
streets are still snow covered and slippery.
The LEWIS'S WOODPECKER was seen on December 1 in Roosevelt, in Roseau
County, at the home of the Anderson's, the previously reported location.
I have no word if it is still there after the latest weather event.
Katie Haws in Blackduck in Beltrami County reported on December 2 that a
male NORTHERN CARDINAL is visiting her feeders.
Heidi Hughes saw a GOLDEN EAGLE a mile west of Angus in Polk County on
November 29. On December 1,Sandy Aubol in East Grand Forks reported
SHARP-SHINNED HAWK, NORTHERN SHRIKE, 8 CEDAR WAXWINGS, a male NORTHERN
CARDINAL, PURPLE FINCH, HOUSE FINCH, and AMERICAN GOLDFINCH.
Alma Ronningen in Dent in Otter Tail County had a similar list on
December 5 including SHARP-SHINNED HAWK, CEDAR WAXWINGS, BROWN CREEPER,
AMERICAN ROBIN, one AMERICAN TREE SPARROW, DARK-EYED JUNCO, and PURPLE
FINCH.
Thanks to Alma Ronningen, Heidi Hughes, Katie Haws, Sandy Aubol, and
