This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, January 29,
2009 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.

This has been another cold week, but temperatures have moderated
recently, and a near thaw is predicted for the weekend. The cold has
resulted in fewer birders getting out, and thus, fewer reports.

An AMERICAN ROBIN and a NORTHERN SHRIKE were seen in northern East Grand
Forks, Polk County , on January 28.

Shelley Steva reported a large flock of 500 to 700 SNOW BUNTINGS in Red
Lake County two to three miles north of Oklee on January 23. Two LAPLAND
LONGSPURS were seen among them.

Larry Wilebski in Kittson County northwest of Lancaster reported
SHARP-TAILED GROUSE dancing already on January 25. Spring must be on the
way!

Steven Reynolds saw a NORTHERN SHRIKE near Wannaska in Roseau County on
January 27.

Thanks to Larry Wilebski, Shelley Steva, and Steven Reynolds for their
reports.

Thursday each week, at [log in to unmask] <blocked::mailto:[log in to unmask]>
