On a trip up the Gunflint Trail this morning I heard and saw Winter Wrens at several stops. Along the Lima Mountain Road I found a Boreal Chickadee and Ruby-crowned Kinglet. As I drove along one of the gravel roads that lead off the Gunflint, I came across a Woodcock right in the middle of the road by a mud puddle. I stopped and watched as it ever so slowly moved toward the side of the road. I guess it thought I wouldn't notice if it crept along at a snail's pace.
In the Grand Marais harbor there was a pair of Red-breasted Mergansers, one Willet, and one Red-necked Grebe. Earl Orf www.earlorfphotos.com ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
