Should the LB Curlew in Aitkin County be seen again either Monday or Tuesday, please post (potential life bird). Couldn't get away this weekend, but would love to see. Thanks!
There have been a few shorebirds in Sherburne NWR the last few days: Greater & Lesser Yellowlegs, W. Snipe, Pecs and a single winter plumage Spotted. Best areas have been the farmer's pond at the Sherburne 3 & 23 intersection and near the 3 & 70 intersection. By the way, the Auto Tour is still closed (as of noon today), and Blue Hill Trail is not ideal currently (recent burn). New year birds in area last few days include Great Egret, Brown Thrasher and Ruddy Duck. Good birding to all! Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties
