The Milagro gamma-ray observatory, located near Los Alamos, NM, employs a water-Cherenkov technique to continuously monitor the northern sky for astrophysical gamma-ray emission near 1 TeV. Milagro's high duty-cycle (-95%) and wide aperture (-2 sr) allows for the detection of flaring behavior associated with TeV AGN, even during daytime transits. Results are presented from a search of the Milagro 2000-2001 data set for 'rev emission from selected AGN, including the bright fare of Mrk421 in early 2001.
