[mou] NW MN Gray Jay(s)

[Benjamin Fritchman]

I figured I'd pass on a little on information from the North Dakota birding 
listserve. Earlier there has been a noted migration of Gray Jays along the 
North Shore, and in the past week, several Gray Jays have turned up in 
northeastern North Dakota. There have been 6 reports of Gray Jays in Grand 
Forks County ND this fall, some right along the Red River and in Grand Forks 
itself. As of yet, I don't think any have been found on the Minnesota side 
of the river in Grand Forks. Also, last night Bob O'Connor of Moorhead 
received a call from a homeowner living about 2 miles west of Buffalo River 
State Park in Clay County, MN, saying a Gray Jay had visited her feeder. If 
confirmed, I believe this will be a 2nd Clay County record. If you're in 
northwestern Minnesota this fall, keep an eye open for wandering Gray Jays! 
It seems this could be a good year for them.

P.S. If anyone sees(or doesn't see) the Blue Earth Co. Pomarine today, 
please post....I may head down there tomorrow.......
