I have received a report of a Varied Thrush at Crane Lake, MN in far northern St Louis County. He has been sited for the past 6 days. In my experience a Varied Thrush will stick around for a while if there is a good food source. If anyone is interested in seeing this bird, let me know and I can send detailed directions. dku...@citlink.net
Also read last week that there were a lot of Red-breasted Nuthatches around, this seems to be the case up here too, the woods are alive with the calls of RB Nuthatches. I had a group of about 20 Evening Grosbeaks come into my feeders. There have been a few flocks flying around in the area. Dee Kuder Crane Lake, MN
