Brown creeper
I was so starstruck by my cardinal I forgot to mention my little brown creeper in my yard. I see him every morning between 8:30 and 9:30 eating on the suet cake. He comes at other times, too. I started noticing him right before the Christmas bird count so no telling how long he has been around. Such a cute little guy, he always makes me smile.

Finally--a cardinal
This morning (Saturday) about 9:30 I saw a beautiful male cardinal at my big sunflower feeder. He sat there a long time leisurely eating then he was gone. I hope he'll come back often and bring his wife if he has one. It was incredible how striking he looked surrounded by the white snow. I called Shar and left a message but was so speechless I have no idea what I babbled. This has been a dream of mine for a loooooooooong time!

Great horned owl
A great horned owl was on top of the western goal post at the DL middle school this morning at approximately 7:45. In the 10 seconds it took me to turn my vehicle around for a better look it was gone.

January Robin
Spring must be getting closer. I saw a robin in a crab
apple tree in my yard yesterday morning (Jan 7). Temp was
about 8 degrees below zero and a wind. I know they all
don't go south but I haven't seen one in Jan before.

Owls in Aitkin Co.
Took a short trip to Aitkin Co today to look for owls. I had just about given up on seeing an owl when this Northern Hawk Owl landed on the power pole right beside my car. About 15 minutes later we came upon a Great Gray Owl perched in a tree right along the road. We observed it catch and eat something and fly back to perch in a nearby tree. We then saw a second Northern Hawk Owl. Good Day of Birding!
