On Friday 9/1/06 we had very good success on Cty Rd 13, north of Big Falls in Koochiching County. Between the rain showers the warblers were outstanding in many places along the road. Also present were the following birds and their locations.
Boreal Chickadee: 7.9 miles north of State Hwy 71 (this is 2 miles south of UT291, the road at the jog in 13), at least 6 birds were present in this flock Boreal Chickadee: 11.5 miles north of Hwy 71 (or 1.1 miles north of the eastern hook of UT291, 2 birds here Three-toed Woodpecker and Black-backed Woodpecker: together in the same cut over area although not close to each other, 9.6 miles north of Hwy 71 (or .4 south of UT291), both males The same cutover area also had a Pileated in the same time frame. As Friday was a wet showry day we feel we got pretty lucky. Other birders who came by these locations later in the afternoon had little success because of rain while they were there. We hit the area between the showers by chance. Sorry for not posting till now but we just got home. Dennis and Barbara Martin [email protected]
