On the Scenic Highway between Duluth and Two Harbors, I had a small flock of about 30 Bohemian Waxwings at McQuade Road, and a larger flock of about 150 at Knife River. Both were easy to see from the road, and courteously at places where I could safely pull over to scan them, but I couldn't detect any Cedar Waxwings.
I had one Great Gray Owl at Brighton Beach (where there was also a lone Canada Goose and a Red-breasted Merganser), one near the lighthouse in Two Harbors (where I found the Harlequin Duck along with several Buffleheads and Goldeneyes), and one in my backyard when I returned home.

There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter. --Rachel Carson
