Shutting down the public bird feeders I maintain on Old Vermilion Trail for the winter. I filled them for the last time this morning (March 18th). Still worth birding the trail / road as the migration starts up in force ... nice wetlands and forest.
Over the course of the winter this was a neat area. Saw on the Trail this winter the only Great Grey Owl I know of being reported in the immediate Duluth area. In addition, the Kelly J's Northern Hawk Owl which I found on December 27th was only two miles from the start of the Trail, and I discovered on one of my trips out to fill the feeders. http://www.365daysofbirds.com/northern-minnesota-birding-locations/ ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
