8:15AM today, a mile and a half north of the Sand River 9:00AM, mile post 304 on Highway 1, this is about 7 and a half miles west of Highway 1
Also today there were Red Crossbills in the pine plantations on the Mitawan Lake Road, and the juvenile Iceland Gull and Harlequin Duck were in the harbor at Two Harbors. There are lots of gulls in Knife River both on the island off the marina and in the back yard of the western most smoked fish place. We got a poor look at what probably was an adult Thayer's Gull. Not a good enough look to be sure but enough that others who are much better with gulls should look for it if they get a chance. Dennis and Barbara Martin [email protected]
