Mixed flock (50-60) of Bohemians & Cedars along the Ann Lake Campground Road (Sherburne CR 4 in the opposite direction) at noon today. Interesting to compare the two from underneath - differences in size & plumage quite notable. The Bohemians were also much more vocal (on this occasion). Nice county bird.
Is this near the southern edge of their MN range? Sibley map indicates this. Could not relocate the Townsend's Solitaire(s) - but much of the road (beyond the mile mark) is closed. The Sherburne NWR Auto Tour is also now closed (ostensibly for eagle nesting). Wife called, flock of 200+ Common Redpolls in yard this morning - 20+ have been in the "overgrown" acres for about a month. Good birding! Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties
