Welcome to the North Dakota Rare Bird Alert compiled by the North
Dakota Birding Society. This report was prepared on Tuesday, Feb. 2.
Unless otherwise noted, any phone numbers mentioned are area code 701.
Transcriber's Note: Birds listed in ALL CAPS in the Birds Mentioned
section signify that the Revised Checklist of North Dakota Birds
lists them as Occasional, Accidental, Extirpated, or never having
occurred before for the season being reported.
Cold temperatures in late January kept a lot of birders at home, but the few
brave enough to venture out were rewarded.
Dave Lambeth repeated an earlier trip from Grand Forks to the air base and
back on Jan. 28. Birds of note included an adult GOLDEN EAGLE, five
SNOWY OWLS, a SHORT-EARED OWL, 14 GRAY PARTRIDGES,
about 50 SHARP-TAILED GROUSE and 20 SNOW BUNTINGS.
