Northern Friends:

Thanks for the first replies.  I am specifically looking for help in =
locating the following species, but will unfortunately only be in the =
Duluth area for the 24th through the 26th.  I can head out from there =
each day, but I must depart in the morning of the 27th.  This gives me =
three birding days.  I would really appreciate any advice on an =
itinerary to maximize my ability to see these northern specialties.  I =
have never birded in Minnesota before, so my skills will be tested!  =
While a fairly skilled birder in my own backyard of the deep south, I =
have no experience with species of the northern woods!
