A YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT was found by Peder Svingen on the 29th at the

Two LEAST BITTERNS were found by Ron Erpelding at Mud Lake in Gary-New
Duluth. They were found at the far north end of Mud Lake along the

a female BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKER and a group of BOREAL CHICKADEES along
the Lima Grade Road about 0.5 mile south of the Lima Mountain Road. They
