Greetings MNBirders, My wife Courtney Kerns and I recently moved to Grand Rapids from Missouri. With that, I'm not too sure the notability of the following birds, but because others are reporting them from the Duluth-North Shore area, I thought I'd share our sightings from further west.
Over the weekend (Nov 3-4), we found a flock of ~30 snow buntings ~4 miles north of Grand Rapids at Gunn Park off Hwy 38. We also had the following birds in our yard: pine grosbeak (3) and northern shrike. This morning a male northern cardinal appeared at our feeder despite not being seen for a few days; last week we had both a male and female at our feeder. Also last week Courtney observed a boreal chickadee in the back yard; hasn't been seen since.
