Saw a Northern Mockingbird just north of Grand Marais. Location is just off Hwy 61 north of town near small apartment complex and small yellow house with bird feeder. There were many White-crowned Sparrows, White-throated Sparrows, Chipping Sparrows and one Lincoln's Sparrow at the feeder. I saw the mockingbird across the neighbors yard perched on a branch for close to a minute. Had full frontal view through spotting scope then he turned to the side and I saw the long tail and white wing markings.
Also on the trip up here today saw 3 Peregrine Falcons, a Blackburnian Warbler and a few Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Beautiful day here in Grand Marais. I'll be damned if I can find a House Sparrow though..... This is my first trip to Cook County and I need one for my county list. :) Andy ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
