Spent a little time today driving around Mille Lacs (Hwy 12, 18, refuge =
between 50th & 55th) and Sherburne (Hwy 3, 70, 23, 4 & 5) Counties =
today. Nothing dramatic, but did note a Northern Shrike on Sherburne 4 =
(about three miles from 5 intersection), two Bald Eagles (Hwys 4 & 5, =
one adult, one immature), medium sized flock of Redpolls (Mille Lacs 12, =
just off 169), numerous Horned Larks and many flocks of Tree Sparrows =
feeding along the roadways. However, Snow Buntings were conspicuous by =
their absence, after noting flocks up to 50 in preceding weeks.
Contemplating taking my 11 year old birding son on a northern spin =
Monday 3/1 - perhaps northern Aitkin County, Sax Zim, Duluth, Two =
Harbors. Any recent or consistent sightings I should be aware of? He's =
missing most of the northern specialties (has a list slightly over 200), =
having always birded in southern & central Wisconsin.
Since I've only lived in MN less than three months, directions are =
always welcome. Am conversant with Aitkin 18/the Great =
Gray/Sharp-tailed areas - and some of the Sax Zim bog. Have only birded =
Two Harbors once, and Duluth never. Would love to get him (frankly, =
both of us) the Gyr, but....
Thanks!
