I've documented singing male Northern Cardinals while conducting breeding bird surveys at Grand Portage National Monument--I think the first year was 2006. ____________________________ Debbie Waters Education Director Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory P.O.

Anywhere from 1 to 7 or 8 individuals. I know we've had them the last 3-5 for sure, and I'd have to look at the data to give you more specifics. I do know from anecdotal information that they've been seen 10-20 miles out of Grand Marais, so I would guess they are near or at the border. Does anyone have access or know of CBC data from Thunder Bay or surrounding area?

Was under the impression that it was irregular prior to the '60's; obviously this is misinformation if it was seen regularly in St. Paul from 1944 on. 2) Is it regularly seen all the way to the northern border? Know that Duluthians still remark on its presence locally. Thanks!
