[mou] Mille Lacs yesterday

[Pastor Al Schirmacher]

Drove northern Mille Lacs County a bit yesterday.  In an otherwise quiet 
morning, 11 Pine Grosbeaks (just off CR 142), three Common Ravens (northern 
Mille Lacs WMA), and a shockingly white Rock Dove (along CR 35, near the 
closed resort) kept me conscious.  How I longed to keep heading north to a 
certain logging road!

The staff at Father Hennepin reported a Snowy Owl throughout the day Friday 
(along the main road at the Group Camp entrance), but I was unable to 
relocate it.  Neither could I find the Goshawk that has been haunting the 
WMA just south of 23.

Good birding to all!
