The e-mail below was on our local net yesterday.  Ann Russ teaches at
Sawtooth Elementary in Grand Marais - I think her class is very fortunate to
have her as teacher.

Two more sparrows turned up with the hopping brown gang in my yard this
afternoon - a Clay-colored and a Savannah.

Subject: more warblers


| My fifth grade class and I hiked on the Superior Hiking Trail today from
| the Caribou Trail to Jonvick Creek. We started the morning looking at a
| loon on a nest. Although the woods were very quiet to start, we later had
a
| nice warbler wave, and more birds throughout the day. The kids heard or
saw:
|
| ovenbird
| black-throated green
| black and white
| yellow rumped
| possible parula
| white throated sparrow
| song sparrow
| swamp sparrow
| ruffed grouse
| wood peewee
| chickadee
| redbreasted nuthatch
| raven
| and an unidentified hawk flying through the fog who obviously had his
| talons full of something good to eat
|
| I think this puts our class list for the year at over 100 now...and we
| still the rest of May and into June!
