After I read Don's email this morning I headed down there to see if I = could relocate and take some better digiscope photos of it. I was able = to relocate the Mt. Bluebird at the locked gates located on 7th Ave West = and Railroad Street. The Mt. Bluebird then foraged its way towards the = main stage at Bayfront Park and then flew across the open water slip to = the Laforge Cement Plant which is located on 8th Ave. West and Railroad = Street. Chris Elmgren joined me as we watched the Mt. Bluebird move = around from the Laforge Plant back to the Bayfront Park. We also saw the = merlin. At the French River parking lot located on Scenic Hwy 61, I observed = several groups of Red Crossbills feeding on the spruce trees just east = of the hatchery. Also interesting were two Black-backed Woodpeckers = migrating down the shore. The raptors were moving in full force as I = sat and watched the birds fly over me. I was able to see a adult Golden = Eagle kettle among several Red-tailed Hawks, a Rough-legged Hawk flying = over the shore and nice looks of a dark morph Red-tail Hawk. =20 I posted new photos of the female Mountain Bluebird on the Recently Seen = section of my website. You can also see photos of yesterday Black-backed = Woodpecker and Three-toed Woodpeckers seen in Two Harbors.
