I ran into Chris Benson at Taconite Harbor this afternoon. He was coming back from Grand Marais but would not be home until Monday. So he asked me to post his observation, today, of a Sabine's Gull in the Grand Marais harbor near the trading post and the east side parking lot.
Very few lingering birds on the North Shore. There are oodles of mountain ash berries so there should be more winter migrants later. I saw a flock of probable Bohemian Waxwings flying over Beaver Bay. Also a few siskins and robins at Gooseberry. One Cape May Warbler at Split Rock Lighhouse. A very few juncos and tree sparrows. One Fox Sparrow and one White-throated Sparrow in my yard. Jan Green
