My husband and I just returned from a trip to Grand Marais where we
spent two days birding and exploring the Gunflint Trail area. It was
beautiful country with Grand Marais a charming small town in a scenic
setting. Construction note: Lima Mountain Road is closed 6:00 AM -
8:00 PM on Monday through Friday because of gravel trucks hauling from a
pit on Lima Grade Road. We saw a huge loaded truck that had pulled off
too far to the side of the road so his wheels were deep in a bog.
We were delighted to find several northern specialties.
Osprey
Broad-winged Hawk
Spruce Grouse - juvenile at our feet in an interesting coniferous bog at
the start of Poplar Creek Trail across from Bow Lake Road on Lima Grade
Road (others of the family disappeared)
Brown Creeper
Winter Wren - Lima Grade Road
Black-throated Blue Warbler - a family 1/2 mile in on Moose Viewing
Trail off the Gunflint
Northern Parula, Magnolia, Black-throated Green Warbler, and Mourning
Warblers
feeder birds:
Purple Finch
Pine Siskin
Evening Grosbeak
