Carl & I took a drive on Sunday looking for early signs of Spring.  
Few were to be found.

In southern Beltrami county, a pair of Red-tailed Hawks were hunting  
a power-line opening along Cty 2, one mile west of MN 71. The first  
Red-tails I've seen this year. In Itasca State Park, Pileated  
Woodpeckers were drumming and a Snowshoe Hare was looking a little  
scruffy. Feeder birds at the Brower Visitor Center included, hoards  
of Chickadee, Pine Siskin and both Nuthatch.  We saw many pairs of  
Crows & Ravens throughout the trip

Last Friday I saw my first Horned Larks, a flock of 9 along Cty 26,  
two miles west of Puposky. Later, a small group of Snow Buntings on  
Cty 32 near Nebish. I counted 9 Bald Eagles during a one hour drive  
north of Bemidji. All were paired but one group of three. The last  
pair were standing on a nest at the intersection of MN 71 and Cty 15.
