Swung through northern Mille Lacs County yesterday (lakefront/CR 35, Kathio State Park, highways 23, 25 & 27) - Common Redpoll flock along 35, few Snow Buntings, five Trumpeter Swans (open water near 169 bridge), otherwise normal winter fare - had hoped to find Pine Grosbeaks (since they've irrupted so heavily into Aitkin County), but was unsuccessful. Also could not relocate the RH Woodpecker(s) that were present in December along 35 & 23.
Good birding to all! Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties
