This evening in Grand Marais, I found a Rock Wren at the municipal campground.
I watched it for several minutes on a large dirt pile near the yellow
maintenance garages, then a vehicle went by and sent it over by the large hole
in the ground surrounded by snow fence where I was unable to relocate it.
Other fun in Grand Marais:
The campground was quite birdy with a flock of 13 Horned Larks and 2 Lapland
Longspurs near where I saw the Rock Wren. Numerous sparrows around including a
few Clay-colored and White-crowned near the maintenance garages and a Fox
Sparrow on Artist's Point. I saw a Magnolia Warbler and Palm Warblers near the
garages as well.
Lots of Golden-crowned Kinglets and Brown Creepers on Artist's Point as well as
a Blackpoll Warbler and a probable Northern Goshawk that flew straight away so
I couldn't get a good look. Horned Grebes were in the harbor and I saw
Red-necked Grebes the other day, but no loons or big lake ducks anywhere.
I also got a brief glimpse of what appeared to be a small flock of Snow Geese
flying over the Holiday, but it was tough to make an ID while craning my neck
to look out the back window of the vehicle.
I stopped at the Spruce Creek ponds last night and nothing was happening there.
