Just received the following e-mail from Nick Escott of Thunder Bay. It seems there is not only a mockingbird invasion of sorts along the North Shore (at least 6 recently), but also it seems a Brewer's Sparrow probably passed through Minn undetected en route to Thunder Cape. - Kim Eckert

Hi Kim We have 2 Mockingbirds here too, one in Thunder Bay and one at Silver Islet, on the north shore of the lake. Thunder Cape Bird Obs. banded a Brewer's Sparrow today. It has been a really poor spring migration here overall. nick
