I spent a delightful morning yesterday (11/21) up near the Highway 2 and Highway 15/16 intersection North of Two Harbors.
Highlights included three hawk owls, and three separate sightings of individual spruce grouse. The grouse were seen on the South and North ends of the Stony River Forest Road, and also 1 mile South of Hwy 1 on Hwy 2. The hawk owls were seen at: Highway 2 just North of Kane Lake Road (about 6 miles South of highway 15/16/11) Highway 11, 4.3 miles East of Stony River Forest Road On the Stony River Forest Road 2.8 miles from its Northern end The forest road is in very good shape with only a few potholes. In the afternoon, I birded the Sax/Zim bog briefly. No hawk owls today, but there were a few rough-legged hawks and gray jays to finish of a nice day of birding.
