[mou-net] Itasca County Spruce Grouse

Today, Earl Orf and I had great looks at a rufous female Spruce Grouse along CR 552 (well north of Nashwauk...road runs along the east side of Bear Lake). We found the grouse where the 25-30 year old jack pine begin, maybe 3/4 of a mile or so south of CR 52. -- Shawn Conrad http://users.2z.net

[mou-net] Ruffed Grouse drumming, 3/19, Hibbing

Just for the sake of phenology, I thought I'd report that I heard a Ruffed Grouse drumming several times in an area north of Hibbing on 3/19. My records aren't the best, but this is about a week earlier than I've noted my first drumming grouse in past years. -- Shawn Conrad http://users.2z.net

[mou-net] More Eurasian Collared-doves in Grand Rapids

There are more Eurasian Collared-doves turning up in Grand Rapids. This morning, I stumbled on a pair at the corner of 4th Ave NW and 6th St NW, well away from the original 3 EC Doves, which, are still present on and around Ha-Car Drive. -- Shawn Conrad http://users.2z.net

[mou-net] Unbelievable - Another Itasca County Three-toed Woodpecker!

-toed Woodpecker in Itasca in 4 days, but oddly, only my 5th ever. Additionally, 4 of those birds were either along CR 19 or within 1.5 miles of CR 19 and the last was only 4.5 miles from CR 19. So, I guess if you're hoping for a Three-toed Woodpecker in Itasca County, start with CR 19. Shawn
