[Forest & Kirsten Strnad]

Greetings:
   
  Gordon and Artis Martinson, Breckenridge, Mn.were our house guest this past week-end.  Gordon spotted two PINE SISKINS at our bird seed feeder on Saturday.  A new species for our yard.
   
  Sunday we birded Rice County.  We saw a pair of Bald Eagles on nest south of Camp Winona Trail, at south end of General Shield's Lake. On way ack to Faribault we saw another Bald Eagle in a tree.  South of Dundas, about a half mile, on east side of road we saw a Bald Eagle eating on a deer carcus.  Just a bit south of that , at south end of Bachrach Way. on east side of Highway #3, in old Bald Eagle nest is a Great Horned Owl on nest.  And just beyond that we saw a lare flock of AMERICAN ROBINS
  fly across the road, east to west.  We counted them, and then after they had passed we saw another robin in top of a tree for total cound of 51 birds.
