Enjoyed doing some birding over the weekend in northern Minnesota.  At Gu=
nflint Lodge near the end of Gunflint trail were many Purple Finches and =
American Goldfinches along with several Evening Grosbeaks and a Pileated =
Woodpecker.  Just south along the Gunflint trail were small flocks of Sno=
w Buntings.

On Hwy 2 north of Two Harbors didn't see the Spruce Grouse but were lots =
of Pine Siskins along with small groups of Purple Finches and White-winge=
d Crossbills. =20

Did a couple of hours of hiking the trails with one of the lodge naturali=
sts and while the birding wasn't spectacular was fun seeing wolf tracks a=
nd adjacent Common Raven tracks.

Have a few photos:
