[mou] Update from Aitkin County

[Warren Nelson]

This past weekend Steve and Jo Blanich and I birded around Aitkin County 
and found a few interesting things.  At the Rice Lake National Wildlife 
Refuge we found 12 BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS, 24 PECTORAL SANDPIPERS, a 
GOLDEN PLOVER, 9 SNIPE, 3 LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS, a KILLDEER, 24 GREATER 
YELLOWLEGS, a MERLIN, 24 BALD EAGLES, several NORTHERN HARRIERS, 2 
SHARP-SHINNED HAWKS, several flocks of RUSTY BLACKBIRDS, TRUMPETER 
SWANS, TUNDRA SWANS  and at least 150,000 RING-NECKED DUCKS.  Outside 
the refuge, we also found SNOW BUNTINGS, ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK and a late 
adult male ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK just south of Palisade.      Warren
