I was fortunate enough to come across a mixed flock of Pine and Evening
Grosbeaks in Mille Lacs County today.  There were at least a dozen Pine
Grosbeaks and at least 5 Evening Grosbeaks in the flock.
 
The location is along the south shore of Mille Lacs Lake.  Take CR142
north off of Hwy 27 (about 1.5 or 2.0 miles west of Wahkon).  When CR142
comes to a "T", take a right.  I don't know the exact distance from
there (about a mile I would guess).  Look for the blue house number sign
40664.  This is where I first saw the birds.  They then moved a couple
of houses further down and were feeding on a large crab apple tree in
the yard.
 
I also found (heard) Red Crossbills and Common Redpolls in Kathio State
Park today.
