[mou] Aitkin & Mille Lacs

[Pastor Al Schirmacher]

Nathan & I did a swing past Mille Lacs Lake (west side), through Aitkin CR 
18, ending (from a birding perspective) with Rice Lake NWR - overall, a bit 
quiet.

Loons were spotty along the lake, we missed the Boreal Chickadees on 18 that 
had been present the week before, and the Say's Phoebe did not show up for 
lunch at Rice Lake.  However, we did enjoy 23 Snow Buntings, 3 Gray Jays and 
our first fall N. Shrike on Aitkin 18.

Good birding to all!
