Today Shawn Conrad and I headed up to Koochiching County so he could see =
the
Three-toed Woodpecker and we hit the jackpot! We drove south on CR13 =
from
CR 1. Not only did we see the male that has been previously reported =
2.3
miles south of CR 1 but we also saw a male and female at 9.2 miles south =
of
CR 1 and another pair 9.5 miles south of CR 1. In addition to that, we =
also
saw a male Black-backed Woodpecker 11.1 miles south of CR 1 on CR 13. =
Six
rare woodpeckers in one day - we consider ourselves very fortunate =
indeed.
=20
Also along CR 13 we saw several flocks of Boreal Chickadees (more than =
the
number of Black-capped Chickadees, how often does that happen). =20
=20
Other Koochiching sightings of note:
=20
Olive-sided Flycatcher (on Hwy 65 just south of Little Fork)
17 Black-billed Magpies south of Big Falls at the intersection of CR 67 =
and
Hwy 71. This is the same place Conny Brunell reported seeing them.
=20
We also stopped at the Big Falls sewage ponds but only saw 1 Least
Sandpiper, 2 Lesser Yellowlegs, and 4 Solitary Sandpipers.
