Took a drive yesterday through portions of Mille Lacs & Aitkin Counties: best sighting was two Boreal Chickadees along Aitkin CR 18 (snowmobile trail across from "Pietz" Road) - two Gray Jays enhanced the experience - Mille Lacs Lake was rather quiet (only counted 12 loons from southern 35 to Garrison, most a ways out there).
Haven't been able to persuade last year's Red-throated (or Pacific, for that matter) Loons to return! Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties
