Today I got my first Black-billed Magpie for Beltrami Co. It was near a farm along the road to our house. Also at the farm are 2 pair of Trumpeter Swans which appear to be nesting. That is also a first for our road.
Warblers heard today while driving along Pincherry Rd toward home were Golden-winged, Chestnut-sided, Nashville, American Redstart, Ovenbird and Common Yellowthroat, as well a Red-eyed Vireo. We had our first Baltimore Oriole at our grape jelly today. He didn't try the orange though. We never have luck with the orioles eating oranges up here. Two days ago we had a Gray-cheeked Thrush in the yard.
