[mou] Three Three-toed Woodpeckers for Isabella

[cgreiner at mchsi.com]

How right you are! My apologies to the Virginia crew and the Grand Marais crew 
as the both counts saw an American 3-toed Woodpecker last year. As I was 
comparing our numbers to those counted in other states to emphasize the point 
that Minnesota is the best state in the lower 48 for 3-toed Woodpeckers on the 
CBC I used the National Audubon Data and thus inadvertently left out our hardy 
CBC's in the Iron Range and on the North Shore. The important thing to remember 
is that we only beat Montana by 1 woodpecker last year in the National data so 
rub some suet and peanut butter on your parka and sign up for a Minnesota CBC.
