[mou] Gunflint area

[Kent Nickell]

Birding in the Gunflint lodge area over the weekend included a
cooperative, singing Northern Parula, a calling Broad-winged Hawk, and
a rapids floating Common Loon.  We saw the loon while looking at a
small rapids on the Granite River just northwest of Magnetic Bay.=20
Other birds included Pileated Woodpecker, lots of Pine Siskins, Purple
Finches and singing White-throated Sparrows.  Common Goldeneye.  Also
had some snow flurries and saw a moose.

Have a few photos:
