G.H. Owl

A great horned owl is perched in a willow tree on Randolph Rd. in the Auto Value Parking lot near Lake Shirts and the Pelican River.  He was there from 1445 hours until 1503 hours when I left.  2-19-10.

WW crossbills in Detroit Lakes

At approximately 0900 this morning, 2-8-10, I saw a flock of about 15 ww crossbills on the 1200 block of Lake Ave. In Detroit Lakes.  They were flying southbound and stopping and feeding in every spruce tree that they encountered.  They'd stop for 1-2 minutes, then move on.  Also saw the first P. siskins of the winter in D.L

Rosate Spoonbill


Two of a flock of Rosate Spoonbills out on Big Slough this afternoon at Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge in Texas.  They get their pink from eating shrimp.
