While canoe camping in Upper Michigan, I am sure I heard a Rose-Breasted
Grosbeak singing its Robin-like song only to be surprised when it
concluded with two Cardinal-like trills. This occurred a couple times
so I am sure I am not mistaken. This prompts a question, "Have others

I've been seeing interesting postings from Lake Superior this spring. So
this afternoon I visited Duluth and walked about three miles of beach. I
started at the parking lot at Minnesota Ave and 12th St. and walked south.
Shorebirds included:
Spotted Sandpiper - 6
Willet - 1
Whimbrel - 15
Please let me know if I missed anyone. As far as I know, I have sent or
forwarded the water feature information to all who have asked. Please let me
know if I missed you.

This morning I found what I assume to be a male Great-tailed Grackle at
Odden W.P.A. in northeast Big Stone County. Unfortunately the bird never
vocalized, and thus I opted to leave it at the genus level (as unlikely as
a Boat-tailed would be in Minnesota).
