What a day!
Highlights:
- White-winged Scoter in the harbor at Grand Marais.
- 4 Northern Three-toed Woodpeckers. 3 females behind the lighthouse in =
Two Harbors and a male at Good Harbor Bay rest area.
-8 Black-backed Woodpeckers. 5 migrating along the shore at various =
locations north of Grand Marais along Hwy. 61 and 3 behind the =
lighthouse in Two Harbors.
-Townsend's Solitaire seen at the Good Harbor Bay rest area at 8:15am.
-Red Crossbills in good numbers migrating down the shore.
-White-winged Crossbills in fair numbers as well.
-Common Redpolls were moving down the shore in good numbers!
-Pine Grosbeaks were also seen migrating down the shore as well.
-Evening Grosbeaks in fair numbers.
-Bohemian Waxwings in Grand Marais and Beaver Bay.
-Red-bellied Woodpecker in Beaver Bay.
-2 Northern Cardinals in Lake County.
-4 Gray Jays but they were all seen in Cook County. In my opinion the =
big push of Gray Jays is pretty much done along the northshore.
Seen about 45 species today. The weather today was cold with very gusty =
winds from the NW.
I bumped into Jim Lind and Denny & Barb Martin who were participating in =
the annual Swedish Raisin Rye Toast Bird Trip to Grand Marais. They =
informed me that the group spotted 3 Townsend's Solitaires. The group =
spotted two solitaires together at Stoney Point and I forgot where the =
other was found. I just read Dedrick's report and notice another =
solitaire was found along the Croftville Rd. in Cook County, so that =
makes 5 townsend's solitaires discovered today along the northshore! =20
I have some decent photos of the White-winged Scoter in the Grand Marais =
harbor and will be posting these photos tonight on my website under =
recent sightings.
