Rick Hoyme, my dad, and I birded Aitkin County Friday and today (6/14). =
We had excellent birding on both days, with many good finds.
Friday
Rice Lake NWR:
-Cape May Warbler (somewhat south of where it is expected in summer?)
-LeConte's Sparrow (many)
Savanna Portage State Park:
-Pine Warbler (singing along the road just south of Wolf Lake)
-Black-billed Cuckoo (excellent looks)
McGregor Marsh at night:
-Yellow Rails (many calling)
-Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow (a few singing)
Today (Sat.)
We found about 5 or 6 Sharp-tailed Grouse in a field on the east side of =
Cnty. Rd. 16 about half a mile south of the town of Tamarack. These =
birds are best looked for in the morning, as we drove by here Friday =
afternoon and evening but didn't find them then.
Snowmobile Trail south of 560th street (across from Pietz's Road)
-Yellow-bellied Flycatcher (singing)
-Connecticut Warbler (singing)
-Boreal Chickadee (singing and gave excellent looks)
-Gray Jay
Get out and enjoy the birds!
