I did a little birding around Two Harbors on Sunday and found a few interesting things.

Hoary Redpoll - seen briefly near feeder in town at 6th Avenue and 8th Street. Redpoll 
and Pine Siskin flocks seemed to be moving all around town, especially on the west 
side of town.

Red Crossbill - flock of 25 in white pine stand on Drummond Grade (CR 131), 3 miles 
north of CR12 (about 5 miles northwest of Two Harbors).  The North Shore State Trail 
crosses here.

Red-bellied Woodpecker - 3 individuals in town. One at 4th Ave and 1st Street (White-
winged Crossbills here, too), one at 7th Ave. and 17th Street (west of the 
SuperAmerica), and one at 12th Ave and 9th Street.

One Harlequin Duck, Long-tailed Duck, and Glaucous Gull at Agate Bay.
