Just for the sake of phenology, I thought I'd report that I heard a Ruffed Grouse drumming several times in an area north of Hibbing on 3/19. My records aren't the best, but this is about a week earlier than I've noted my first drumming grouse in past years. -- Shawn Conrad http://users.2z.net/itasca_chippewa_birding/ ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
