An AMERICAN THREE-TOED WOODPECKER and at least two BLACK-BACKED
WOODPECKERS can still be found along McDavitt Road in the Sax-Zim Bog
area of St. Louis County, two and a half miles north of the Sax Road.
At least one HOARY REDPOLL has been reported from a feeder on Lake
County Road 9, just north of the highway 61 expressway west of Two
Harbors.
An increase in NORTHERN SHRIKE reports has been noted recently,
especially in the Twin Cities area, Arriving spring migrants reported
recently include GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE, GREAT BLUE HERON,
NORTHERN HARRIER, SANDHILL CRANE, KILLDEER, RING-BILLED GULL, RUSTY
BLACKBIRD, and RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD.
