I just got back from a bird trip through Morrison, Crow Wing, and Aitkin Counties. Got a Varied Thrush in N.E. Morrison. Found 4 Magpies in Crow Wing, along with an American Three Toed Woodpecker, Pine Grossbeaks, White Winged Crossbills, and Trumpeters. In Aitkin we got a Snowy Owl at the intersection of 1 and 22 down a sod road, Gray Jays, 2 Rough legged hawks, and Red Poles. Missed out on the Great Gray Owl in Aitkin County and a Black Backed Woodpecker and Gray Jays in Crow Wing. I didn't fing one of these birds on my own and have to thank Herb Dingman for most of the finds. He led us right to them. Had a good day with Milt Blomberg and ran into Denny & Barb Martin, Butch Ukura, and Warren Nelson. Good group to be with. I will leave the details of the finds to the people who found them. Very good birding day. Frank Gosiak Little Falls, Morrison County 1-320-267-1667
