Today Steve and Jo Blanich and I birded around Aitkin County and found
several good birds. Thanks to information from Carol Crust, we found a
beautiful male VARIED THRUSH. To see the bird, from the junction of
Highways 169 and 47 on the south side of town, take hwy 47 east for 6
blocks to 6th Ave. S.E. Go south for about 5 blocks to Ripple River
Drive and follow it to number 277 (Berglund residence). The bird is
with an AMERICAN ROBIN in a flowering crabapple tree behind the house.
We also found an AMERICAN THREE-TOED WOODPECKER and 3 BLACK-BACKED
WOODPECKERS along C.R. 3. From the junction of C.R. 1 and C.R.3, follow
C.R. 3 for about 5 miles. There are extensive workings on the south side
of the road. All four birds were there.
Other notable birds that we found include: GRAY JAY, PINE
GROSBEAKS,COMMON REDPOLLS, a couple hundred SNOW BUNTINGS, several BALD
EAGLES, NORTHERN SHRIKE and just west of Palisade on C.R.3, we found
both MERLIN and RED-TAILED HAWK.
