We continue to have 40+ Common Redpolls, a lone Hoary Redpoll and a dozen Pine Grosbeaks at the Audubon Center feeders. White-winged Crossbills have been working the tops of spruce trees snapped to the ground by the October storm. Three Black-billed Magpies have been sharing a deer carcass with the woodpeckers, chickadees, a Dark-eyed Junco, bobcat and ermine. I found a handful of Cedar Waxwings amongst the 60+ Bohemians all over the crab apples along the streets of downtown Warren today. A Rough-legged Hawk, 4 Common Ravens and a Short-eared Owl in the CRP on the west side of Polk County 68 at the Marshall County line (in the Agassiz Valley impoundment). Over 100 Snow Buntings and at least 2 Lapland Longspurs along US 75 between Warren and Angus. 4 Bald Eagles hanging around in the fields along Minnesota Hwy 1 east of Warren. A Northern Cardinal is a regular at the feeders on Minnesota Hwy 1 on the west side of town (by the Snake River).
