New arrivals: * White-throated Sparrow (single along Blue Hill Trail, Sherburne NWR), 4/9
* AW Pelicans (flock of 70 moving majestically along the Mississippi River near Monticello), 4/9 * Osprey (two "cavorting" near Sherburne 1 & 87), 4/7 * Bonus bird: Nathan & I thoroughly enjoyed the Loggerhead Shrike on Aitkin CR 1 Friday evening - thanks, Warren, for posting excellent directions. Lifer for Nathan; he's creeping up towards 300 in the state (at 14 yoa) - and I can feel his breath hot on my listing back! Nothing new this morning along Milaca Hiking Trails. Good birding to all & sundry. Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties
