This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, January 15th 2009.

In Duluth, a male BARROW'S GOLDENEYE was found on the 10th on Lake
Superior at 21st Avenue East. this is almost certainly the same
individual that has been present on the lake since late December.

On the 15th, there was a report of a possible GYRFALCON at the southeast
corner of Minneapolis St. Paul airport along state highway 5 at Post
Road.

A BOREAL OWL was discovered on the 11th in east Duluth along the Old
North Shore Road near Alseth Road of Stoney Point but it was gone the
next day.

The NORTHERN HAWK OWL near the Duluth International Airport was
relocated on the 12th at Rice Lake Road, half a mile south of Airport
Road. Another was at the junction of Jean-Duluth Road and Beyer Road on
the 11th. And up the shore, a GREAT GRAY OWL was seen on the 10th along
state Highway 61, half a mile north of Ryan Road. Great Gray and
Northern Hawk owls continue to be seen in the Sax-Zim Bog of St. Louis
County. Check especially along county road 7, county road 28, and
McDavitt Road.

In Lake County, an AMERICAN THREE-TOED WOODPECKER was found on the 8th
along the walking trail at Lighthouse Point in Two Harbors and it was
still present on the 10th.

In northern St. Louis County, a TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE was seen on the 9th
near the Ely golf course along Lookout Ridge Road.

And in the southern half of the state, many callers have reported
RED-SHOULDERED HAWK, BROWN CREEPER, EASTERN BLUEBIRD, HOARY REDPOLL, and
WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILL.

The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, January 22nd 2009.
