In the "unusual bird" (overwintering or early migrant?) category, had a calling female Wood Duck in the open water at the intersection of Sherburne CR 1 & 87 today.
Have not noted the Townsend's Solitaire(s) at Ann Lake in my last two visits. Last year it/they "disappeared" in January for a few weeks as well, but then was seen again off & on until late March. Good birding to all! Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties
