This evening at dusk I saw two Ross's Geese at Agate Bay. They circled low over the boat landing about three times while giving their distinctive call, which I had never heard before. They looked like they landed in the grassy field between the boat landing and the tugboat, but by the time I got over there to try and photograph them they were gone.
There was a lot of migration along the North Shore all day today. I stopped by Hawk Ridge this afternoon, and they were having their best raptor flight of the season so far, with more than 12,000 Broad-wings and a Swainson's Hawk. Hope we get a good flight for this weekend's festivities. Jim Lind Two Harbors
