[mou] Lots of Red Crossbills - Itasca County

[shawn conrad]

Over the past two weeks I have been in the area where Itasca CR 49 turns to 
gravel north of CR 50 and there have been many Red Crossbills in the area.  
Today there were all kinds of them moving around the red pine plantations 
off of the Sand Lake Rd.  There are numerous forest roads up there, but I 
can provide better directions should someone be birding in Itasca County, 
though I think any of the plantations near 49 would be good right now.  
Still no White-winged Crossbills.
