-toed Woodpecker in Itasca in 4 days, but oddly, only my
5th ever. Additionally, 4 of those birds were either along CR 19 or within 1.5
miles of CR 19 and the last was only 4.5 miles from CR 19. So, I guess if
you're hoping for a Three-toed Woodpecker in Itasca County, start with CR 19.

with finches.

birders and conservationists
are
loaded with White-winged Crossbills as well and I have a credible report of
Spruce Grouse in a connected bog, though I have yet to see one there myself.
Thanks in advance for not disturbing the suet or the surrounding trees if you
bird here. Good luck!

local might...and most people know diddly about the lodging options in their
backyards. Thanks.
