Dusk walk on Blue Hill (Sherburne) trail -=20

First Fox Sparrow of fall mixed in with 100's of WC Sparrows (literally =
- most chipping brightly - some peabody-ing).  Juncos providing =
counterpoint.  Great Horned Owl hooting mournfully (lost love?).  =
Multiple Ruffed Grouse drumming.  Virginia Rail kiddicking quietly.  =
Woodcock nearly introduced a new hair part.  Alas, no warblers =
(Ichabod!).

Fall has (fallen, that is).

100 species over last week - including Duluth/MOU/Hendrickson/WI Point =
trip - won't see those numbers again 'til May.

Question for those who know Mille Lacs Lake.  What spots would you =
recommend checking for unique species (gulls, loons et al) over the next =
couple of weeks?  (Directions from 169 always helpful - I do have Eckert =
- an earlier edition)

Good birding to all!
