I got a female black-backed woodpecker on the Ogemash Trail at Tamarac N.W.R. in Becker County at about 11:30 this morning. It was in the tamarack-spruce bog that=92s about =BE of a mile down the trail. It was = very active, working many of the trees in the bog. This is only the second = time that I=92ve seen this species in Becker County. Red-breasted nuthatches = were very common and active throughout the refuge. In the bog on the Ogemash = I also got a single ruffed grouse, a purple finch and a fly-over common = raven. =20 At Round Lake on the north side of the refuge there was a flock of = evening grosbeaks (about 10 birds) and a flock of American goldfinches. =20 =20 I didn=92t see any pine grosbeaks or gray jays (my target bird). =20 Mark Otnes Fargo ND 701-241-4194 markot...@msn.com =20 =20 ------=_NextPart_000_0018_01C72A97.2118A500 Content-Type: text/html;
