Hi all Today I saw a Northern Mockingbird in my neighbors yard. We were having coffee and she looked out the window and asked what kind of bird is that? To my surprise it was a Mockingbird. I don't know if it stuck around as I had to go to work shortly after we found the bird. The Mockingbird was found about 2 miles south of the Savanna Portage State Park entrance along CR 14, north east of McGregor, Aitkin Co. Also this week I have seen a Black-backed Woodpecker on CR 64, Kestrel Ave, 2 mi east of CR 14. The Sandhill Cranes have 2 colts and also a family of Woodcock were seen crossing the road. I look forward to seeing some of you at the McGregor Birding Festival in a couple of weeks. June 8-11, with lots of trips, fun, programs and friends.
