The Aitkin area is full of Rough-legged Hawks. We saw 7 driving the roads NE of town in about 2 hours.
Had a dozen Sharp-Tailed Grouse at the blinds DNR blinds. MilleLacs has many Goldeneyes and Common Mergansers plus a gorgeous pair of Otters. Spring passerines are huddled close to the lake -- Phoebe, Fox Sparrows, Yellowrumps, Wooodcock. No SHort-eared Owls No Great Gray Owl on Pietz road. Thanks for the help. ===== Richard Carlson Full-time Birder, Biker and Rotarian Part-time Economist Tucson, AZ & Lake Tahoe, CA rcc...@pacbell.net Tucson 520-760-4935 Tahoe 530-581-0624
