This morning Butch Ukura and I (and this afternoon, Steve and Jo Blanich
and I) birded around the county. The best bird of the day was a
LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE. It is about 7 1/2 miles north of Aitkin along County
Road 1. The bird has been there all day, sitting on a telephone line
right beside the road., catching moths.
We had a total of 91 species. This includes 20 species of ducks (about
5000 in total), Marsh Wren, Yellow-headed Blackbird, Western Meadowlark,
Swamp Sparrows and Sharp-tailed Grouse dancing in the middle of the road
-- to only mention a few. Warren Nelson
