[mou] Hubbard Co. Trumpter Swans, others

[patrick.beauzay@ndsu.edu]

Hello all,

Sorry this is a day late. I spent the weekend at Park Rapids birding in
Itasca S.P. on Saturday and southern Hubbard Co. on Sunday.  Present at
Bert's Cabins in ISP were 2 Gray Jays, a flock of 9 WW Crossbills, many BC
Chickadees, WB and RB Nuthatches, and 1 Evening Grosbeak.

Along the Crow Wing River between the 5th and 4th Crow Wing lakes there
are about 800-1000 Canada Geese, 100 Mallards, and at least 90 Trumpeter
Swans. Counting was difficult as the wind chill was -20F. This stretch has
been winter home to similar numbers of Trumpeters over the past few years.

Good Birding!

Pat
