[mou] Itasca State Park CBC

[Johnson, Douglas]

We had a good turnout (five teams) and good weather for Sunday's Itasca
State Park CBC.  While nothing was extraordinarily rare,  we had good
numbers of birds overall.  Highlights included:

 

Ten Bald Eagles (record high number)

Sharp-shinned Hawk at feeding station at east entrance Jacob Brower
visitor center

Three Black-backed Woodpeckers (all in Hubbard County along snowmobile
trails on east side of the park off the East Entrance        Rd.)

Only five Gray Jays (all in Hubbard County near LaSalle Creek)

One Brown Creeper at Mississippi Headwaters

Two No. Shrikes

Three Northern Cardinals (at two different feeders both in Hubbard
County)

13 Dark-eyed Juncos (high number)

9 Red Crossbills (In Clearwater County in old growth Red Pines along
north edge of park about one mile east of the Mississippi Headwaters)

200 Common Redpolls (none at feeders and no identified Hoary Redpolls)

@70 Evening Grosbeaks (most at Ludwig's feeder at Lake Alice in Hubbard
County, but a small flock also in Clearwater County on Hi. 200 on Long
Lake)

Only Black-billed Magpies were 3 on a deer kill on Clearwater Cty 2 just
a few hundred yards north of circle and not countable.
