All, I went up on Saturday with Bob Dunlap and Chris Hockema to the north shore to see the Nutcracker. We arrived at the crack of dawn, and after about an hour or a bit more, a bunch of us including the above mentioned people as well as Carol Schumacher, Drew Smith, and several others found it at 20 Lee Circle in someone's backyard after they alerted us to its presence. I was able to get multiple pictures that I now am able to post that I am back at my laptop.
I have posted 2 reasonably useful images on my website. www.avianphotos.org and go to the Minnesota album. Chris
