Today Steve and Jo Blanich and I birded around Aitkin County and found several good birds. Thanks to information from Carol Crust, we found a beautiful male VARIED THRUSH. To see the bird, from the junction of Highways 169 and 47 on the south side of town, take hwy 47 east for 6 blocks to 6th Ave. S.E. Go south for about 5 blocks to Ripple River Drive and follow it to number 277 (Berglund residence). The bird is with an AMERICAN ROBIN in a flowering crabapple tree behind the house. We also found an AMERICAN THREE-TOED WOODPECKER and 3 BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKERS along C.R. 3. From the junction of C.R. 1 and C.R.3, follow C.R. 3 for about 5 miles. There are extensive workings on the south side of the road. All four birds were there. Other notable birds that we found include: GRAY JAY, PINE GROSBEAKS,COMMON REDPOLLS, a couple hundred SNOW BUNTINGS, several BALD EAGLES, NORTHERN SHRIKE and just west of Palisade on C.R.3, we found both MERLIN and RED-TAILED HAWK.
