Lars Benson and I drove to Paradise Beach, Cook County, and back today. On the way up this morning, we counted 55 Bald Eagles (mostly sub-adult birds). Also, ten Rough-legged Hawks (two dark morph).
Other birds of note: Palm Warbler in Grand Marais in the front yard of the house directly across from the Angry Trout restaurant. Western Meadowlark behind the Mobil station in Beaver Bay. Two adult Thayerish Iceland Gulls in Grand Marais; one adult in Two Harbors. A dead Long-eared Owl just west of Palisade Head in Lake County. White-winged Scoter and a Lesser Scaup in the Grand Marais Harbor. Two Black Scoters and a Long-tailed Duck at Taconite Harbor. Two Horned Grebes at Paradise Beach. Two Long-tailed Ducks at Good Harbor Bay. One Ken Hoffman in the Grand Marais campground. Still Snow Buntings here and there. Bohemian Waxwings in small groups in the Grand Marais harbor area. Small groups of redpolls all along the shore. Dave Benson Duluth ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
