Yesterday, Leslie Marcus, Mark Junghans and I had the birding Gods with us. After having the good fortune to see the 1st winter Black-headed Grosbeak, we headed for Aitkin County for a day of birding. On the drive over to Palisade, we saw Ruffed Grouse, Evening Grosbeaks at the Risen,s residence and Black-billed Magpie flyby. In Palisade very close looks at Bohemian Waxwings and Purple Finches. And to end the day, on County Road 18 north of Palisade we saw Rough-legged Hawks, Gray Jays, 3 Ruffed Grouse, 3 Northern Hawk Owls and one Great Gray Owl at 320th and county 18. Long but very rewarding day.
