This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, March 3,
2011 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.

Due probably to the unseasonably cold weather this week, sightings have
been spotty. Several observers have reported HORNED LARKS, LAPLAND
LONGSPURS, and SNOW BUNTINGS in open country in a variety of counties.
Since owls are starting to go about the business of nesting, there have
been some reports of owls being seen this week also.

Steve Patterson observed the mating of a pair of BALD EAGLES in Bemidji,
Beltrami County on February 26.

In Red Lake County, Steve Dahl saw a GREAT HORNED OWL in his yard on
March 1.

From Polk County, Sandy Aubol reported a BALD EAGLE flying over East
Grand Forks on February 28. Bruce Flaig reported that a BARRED OWL
returned to his yard in southern Polk County on February 26.

Bob Ekblad relocated a flock of BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS in the town of
Mahnomen on March 1.

Marshall Howe reported 3 PINE GROSBEAKS at Dorset in south central
Hubbard County. Also seen along MN 64 between Motley and Akeley were
three light phase ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS.

Thanks to Bob Ekblad, Sandy Aubol, Steve Dahl, and Steve Patterson for
their reports.

Please report bird sightings to Jeanie Joppru by email, no later than
Thursday each week, at [log in to unmask] OR call the Detroit Lakes
Chamber's toll free number: 1-800-542-3992. Detroit Lakes area birders

2011.
