Spent some time in Koochiching near Northome working on one of my houses and decided to take my 10 year old daughter birding in the afternoon. This is her list She compiled for the day.
1 Red Tailed Hawk 1 Rough Legged Hawk 5 Pine Grosbeaks 100s of Redpolls ( 1 Hoary) 45 Snow Bunting 60 Ravines 11 Crows 2 Magpies 21 Goldfinch 8 Purple Finch 1 Tree Sparrow numerous Black capped Chickadee 17 Blue Jays 1 Red Crossbill 2 Pileated 3 Downy 2 Hairy 11 Red Breasted Nuthatch 3 White Breasted Nuthatch 1 Horned Lark 3 Rock Dove 3 Ruffed Grouse ( no Spruce) Talking to the Locals they said Evening Grosbeaks are few and they haven't seen many Cedar or Bohemian Waxwings. Also, Pine Siskins have been in low numbers.. As an addition Morrison County has more Dark Eyed Junco's showing up. There still are a lot of Redpolls and Horned Larks. The Barred and Great Horned Owls are calling in more locations and the Cardinals are more active along with the Woodpeckers knocking. Found more areas with striped trees with recent flecking but didn't view any Black Backed Woodpeckers. Eagles and Hawks are starting to show up in more abundance. ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
