[mou] Aitkin County on Sunday

[Warren Nelson]

Today Butch Ukura and I birded around the Aitkin County and had a pretty 
wonderful day.  It started of when a timber wolf crossed the road ahead 
of us just off of C.R.1.  Later in the day, we had a coyote cross a 
field just south of Palisade.  Birdlife included 42 species. Some of the 
notables:  SNOWY OWL, GREAT HORNED OWL, BARRED OWL, SHARP-TAILED GROUSE, 
RUFFED GROUSE, BLACK-BILLED MAGPIE, GRAY JAY, NORTHERN SHRIKE, COMMON 
REDPOLL, EASTERN BLUEBIRD, WOOD DUCK, COMMON GOLDENEYE, HOODED 
MERGANSER, COMMON MERGANSER and 60 ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS.        Warren Nelson
