You may also see this report on the Chamber of Commerce website: <https://www.visitdetroitlakes.com/birding-report> https://www.visitdetroitlakes.com/birding-report This has been a quiet week in the northwest and it has been very cold. Tonight we are forecast to get a blizzard and more snow. Feeders have been busy today, as the tiny chickadees stoke up for another cold night. I have a report of two NORTHERN HAWK OWLS along MN 72 north of Kelliher this week, not certain of the county or counties they were seen in. The Roseau CBC was held on January 4th , and tallied 29 species including AMERICAN KESTREL, SPRUCE GROUSE, NORTHERN GOSHAWK, one GREAT GRAY OWL, three NORTHERN SHRIKES, all the corvids, BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS, WESTERN MEADOWLARK, PINE SISKINS, and SNOW BUNTINGS. On January 12th , Jeff Siverhus saw a GREAT GRAY OWL near Salol, and Beth Siverhus reported BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS in Warroad on January 17th. Nancy Wasik observed a PILEATED WOODPECKER in Eckles township of Beltrami County this week. On January 11, a NORTHERN GOSHAWK flew through our yard east of Thief River Falls in Pennington County.
