[mou] White-winged Crossbills, Sherburne NWR

[Pastor Al Schirmacher]

20+ White-winged Crossbills, Sherburne Wildlife Refuge, Blue Hill Trail, 
conifer section this morning (very responsible to pishing).  Black-backed 
Woodpeckers were not relocated (but did not search extensively either, 
simply along the trail).

Common Redpoll flocks flying around our home in southern Mille Lacs County 
yesterday.  Could be an interesting late fall/winter.

Still puzzling over the Duluth soccer fields gull from Saturday.  Anyone 
else relocate the Mew/aberrant Ring-billed/whatever?

Good birding to all!
