I haven't seen the finch prediction that comes to us from Ontario, but
judging from last year's Christmas Bird Count, which had near record
numbers of Pine Grosbeaks across northern Minnesota, I expect that this
year will be an off year for them.

No sign of Pine Grosbeaks in Itasca County. In fact, very few finches at all
so far--a few AMGOs and PUFIs and sporadic Red Crossbills in November; nothing
else. No BOWAs either. Speaking of food, there seems to be an unprecedented
EXPLOSION in rodents this fall. I've seen them all over the
None in Sax-Zim Bog...yet. But this is not unheard of here.
A look back at my 33 years compiling the Sax-Zim CBC shows that though we have
NEVER missed Pine Grosbeak completely, but we have had single digits about
every 11 years (our count is in mid December).
1991 (3 birds), 2002 (1 bird),
Are others finding pine grosbeaks in NE MN? There is an almost complete absence
in the Ely area.
