Nathan & I ventured to Aitkin County, primarily along the Hedbom Logging Road. Highlights included:
* Two Great Gray Owls (one 14 miles south of McGregor on 65, near Highway marker 103 - the other on the logging road) * Three American Three-toed Woodpeckers, one Black-backed (thanks, Kim Risen, for taking us into the areas they've been stripping - lot of woods there!) * One small flock of White-winged Crossbills, few flocks of Pine Grosbeaks, numerous Common Redpolls, single flock of Pine Siskins; single Gray Jay, few GC Kinglets & Ravens. What an excellent area! We are looking forward to returning throughout the year. Al & Nathan Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties
