This morning I was working in the Cass Lake area. During my travels, I saw a female Black-backed Woodpecker on Oak Point Rd, .6 mile E of 371, several miles S of Cass Lake.
Other phenological notes: - Brown Creepers singing (not just calling) in Cass County. - Trumpeter Swans and the common early waterfowl in open water at Cass Lake and Federal Dam - LOTS of Bald Eagles - Northern Hawk-owl on 73 NOT present - Flock of juncos in Cass Lake - No larks, longspurs, or buntings seen on any of the fields in NE Cass. - My FOY Red-winged Blackbird in Cass Lake -- Shawn Conrad http://users.2z.net/itasca_chippewa_birding/ ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
