Had a few new species yesterday in Douglas. Had an Am Bittern calling Friday evening and again Saturday AM. Lake Osakis had Bonaparte's Gulls (no Franklins yet) and also had at least three Forster's Terns. I also saw many more W Grebes. Conditions were calm yesterday PM when I drove by and the lake had thousands of Waterfowl of many type. Also had Rusty BBs, Pine Siskins, Hermit Thrush and YB Sapsucker. Saw the C.Raven I've been watching carrying mice from my corn food plot toward the area I've seen it hanging out so it could be setting up shop, though I haven't seen two at a time this spring. The Veery I thought I heard last weekend morphed into a probable aberrant RW Blackbird (Thanks Bob). Had two Pectorals (first shorebirds other than YLegs, Snipe and Woodcock.) John Ellis- St. Paul
