Duluth weather is very hard to predict and most times our local =
weathermen on TV are normally wrong when it comes to forecasting the =
weather in Duluth. Well, I scan over each fall season the finch forecast =
that is forwarded to the MOU listserv and I read how the states will see =
very little winter finches this winter season because of the bumper crop =
of seed in birches, other decidous trees and coniferous trees. WELL in =
the last week or so there has been a good steady migration of common =
redpolls, red & white-wing crossbills, pine grosbeaks, evening =
grosbeaks, purple finches and pine siskins moving down the northshore of =
Lake Superior. This past week I had common redpolls at my feeders along =
with purple finches and siskins.
So is it just me that the finch forecast we read on our listserv each =
fall season is about as good as listening to your local weatherman on TV =
predicting the weather?=20
