I wasn't sure where the flooded fields referred to Pastor Al were, so I
searched on Cty 15 going west out of Aitkin and Cty. 1 going north out of

In case anyone is interested in locating Black-throated Blue Warblers in
their nesting territory, Chris and I located 3 singing males along the
Superior Hiking Trail to Mt. Trudee from the Trail Center at Tettegouche

I currently have a White-eyed Verio singing in my back yard. It is only singing
