This morning a lone female Cardinal showed up at our feeders.  We =
haven't had one since spring, but have had a pair visiting, and other =
single birds in the past 5 years.  No regular wintering or breeding =
birds right here. =20

Also visiting this morning was a single Fox Sparrow, first we'd seen in =
a few days.  Very good Fox Sp. migration along the shore this fall.  =
Fewer White-throated Sp. than usual - they bailed out early.  Now where =
are all these winter finches?  Goldfinches occasionally, but no siskins =
or redpolls in them.  4 Evening Grosbeaks about 2 weeks ago, no Pine Gr. =
or any crossbills, but we've been down with some darn virus or other and =
haven't been out birding much.  A friend in Tofte reported a Red-bellied =
Woodpecker early this week, not seen for a couple days.   We have seen 2 =
different Black-backed Woodpeckers visiting a dead spruce in our yard.

  and 48 degrees north latitude in northeastern Minnesota.  On Thursday, =
=20
  Steve Schon saw and reported a female northern cardinal at his bird =20
  feeder in Ely.  This morning Wayne Mickowski saw male and female =20
  northern cardinals at his bird feeder in Babbitt.  Besides those =20
  sightings in St. Louis County, a male cardinal was spotted last Sunday =
=20
  by Norma Malinowski and seen by several others along the Croftwille =20
  Road just north of Grand Marais in Cook County.

  Who knows where they will pop up next.
