Nathan & I did a bit of traveling yesterday: initially to Sartell, where we enjoyed a Varied Thrush that's been coming to a feeder (Lisa is a most gracious host); then to Dakota County, seeking the Gyrfalcon in vain for 2.5 hours (although enjoyed the birders we ran into, thanks for letting us tag along, Herb & Ron), finally to Black Dog, where we had looks at two airborne Iceland Gulls. The day was beautiful, Nathan netted two life birds, and we have a great start on our year list.
Good birding to all! Al & Nathan Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties
