This afternoon I found an immature Ross's Goose west of Two Harbors along the Stanley Road (CR 9). It was with a flock of Cackling and Canada Geese in a farm field on the south side of the road, 3.2 miles west of the Highway 61 4-lane expressway. The Stanley Road crosses the expressway near the Ford dealership.
In addition to the 20+ migrating Black-backed Woodpeckers seen today from the Hawk Ridge main overlook, yesterday Janet Riegle found a female Black-backed in the red pine woods at Hawk Ridge, along the Superior Hiking Trail north of Skyline Drive. Jim Lind
