I got a female black-backed woodpecker on the Ogemash Trail at Tamarac
N.W.R. in Becker County at about 11:30 this morning. It was in the
tamarack-spruce bog that=92s about =BE of a mile down the trail. It was =
very
active, working many of the trees in the bog. This is only the second =
time
that I=92ve seen this species in Becker County. Red-breasted nuthatches =
were
very common and active throughout the refuge. In the bog on the Ogemash =
I
also got a single ruffed grouse, a purple finch and a fly-over common =
raven.
=20
At Round Lake on the north side of the refuge there was a flock of =
evening
grosbeaks (about 10 birds) and a flock of American goldfinches. =20
=20
I didn=92t see any pine grosbeaks or gray jays (my target bird).
