In Lake Co earlier this week, a N Hawk Owl was seen along CR 2, near
the jct with Forest Road 122, or 1 mi N of the Kane Lake Rd; this is
~21 mi N of Two Harbors. (However, there were no Great Gray or N Hawk
owls to be found in the Stony River Forest Rd / Whyte Rd area, which
had been present 2 weeks ago.) There was a pair of Boreal Chickadees
at the jct of the Stony River & Whyte roads, and another pair on CR 2,
~1.5 mi N of the Sand R. Especially surprising was an adult Wild
Turkey with several chicks along CR 2, ~15 mi N of Two Harbors; I
assume this to be a recent release from a local game farm.
In the Sax-Zim Bog, there were 2 pairs of Black-backed Woodpeckers
along McDavitt Rd, ~2.5 mi N of Sax Rd. A Connecticut Warbler was also
heard here, and another cooperative individual was seen along Owl Ave,
~1/4 mi S of Overton Rd. (There had been reports earlier that birders
were having difficulty finding this species in Sax-Zim.) And a Black-
billed Magpie pair was along Sax Rd, 1.5 mi W of CR 7.
