This morning I found two Black-backed Woodpeckers (1 male, 1 female) along the Blue Hill hiking trail at Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge.? The birds were both found in the large stand of White Spruce at the westernmost end of the short loop of the trail.? The birds?were each in different parts of the stand, and each?could be heard tapping quite loudly.? I watched the female woodpecker drift off to sleep atop?a dead spruce snag right along the trail. ? Other species of interest at the refuge included: ? Snow Buntings Northern Shrike Orange-crowned Warbler ? Flyover: Pine Siskins Lapland Longspur ? Scott Loss St. Paul
