I spent some time in Koochiching County near Big Falls this morning and had a few fun sightings despite the rain. I apologize for the vague locations...I was enjoying myself and not paying that much attention:
- Spruce Grouse on Pine Island Forest Road - Boreal Chickadee in the spruce bog near mile marker 141 on Hwy 6 - American Pipits...several small flocks on CR 30 and a small flock with some Lapland Longspurs at a logging landing on Pine Island Forest Road - Black-billed Magpies...3 of them on CR 30, E of Toumey-Williams - Harris's Sparrows (and a Brown Creeper) at the Big Falls municipal campground--this species plus White-crowned and numerous White-throated Sparrows have been present at my feeders for several days - Blue-headed Vireo *singing* along Pine Island Forest Road....Palm and Yellow-rumped Warblers and Golden-crowned Kinglets in the same jack pine stand -- Shawn Conrad www.itascacnfbirding.com ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
