for it? Where exactly are people scanning from?

I saw 3 white-winged crossbills at Glendalough State Park at about 9 this
morning. One was a bright pink-red male with bold black and white wings. Not
the crossbill species I was expecting.

I just talked to Kim Eckert on the phone and he received a much better
recording from Frank Gosiak's daughter that he thinks sounds within the range
of a Western Wood Pewee's calls. I think he said that Bob Dunlap is pretty

There is a pewee giving the harsh "pheer" call like a western wood pewee at
Buffalo River state park at about 8:00 AM. It's on the trail across the bridge
to the south of the picnic area. Maybe 200 yards going east from the bridge.

Western Kingbirds have been scarce in the immediate Fargo-Moorhead area.
Normally they are quite common with a few normally nesting in town and
they're usually visible on fenceposts along I94 in Clay County, but not
this year. Eastern Kingbirds appeared to be present in normal numbers.
