Birding in the Gunflint lodge area over the weekend included a cooperative, singing Northern Parula, a calling Broad-winged Hawk, and a rapids floating Common Loon. We saw the loon while looking at a small rapids on the Granite River just northwest of Magnetic Bay.=20 Other birds included Pileated Woodpecker, lots of Pine Siskins, Purple Finches and singing White-throated Sparrows. Common Goldeneye. Also had some snow flurries and saw a moose.
