Red-shouldered Hawk, Sherburne CR 1 & 87 marsh; Golden-crowned Kinglets, Refuge/Blue Hill Trail (over-wintering and over-summering for last three years in the conifers, hmmmm.....) - otherwise quiet in area.
Considering a Saturday AM trip either to Aitkin County or Black Dog area. Few questions: * Attractions to Aitkin are the Varied Thrush, Three-toed and Black-backed Woodpeckers. Any recent reports? * Attraction to Black Dog is the Slaty-backed. Again, any recent reports? Anything else in the area worth chasing? Good birding to all.
