Earl Orf and I birded Itasca County this morning. Birding was relatively slow,
but we did have a few highlights:
- Boreal Chickadees; one on the trail in the spruce bog .1 mile north of Middle
Creek on Alder Road and one on the fire tower trail at Scenic State Park
- Black-billed Magpie north of Bigfork near the intersection of CR 42 and CR 237
- 2 probable Black-backed Woodpeckers (90% sure) viewed on distant trees in a
tamarack bog on Alder Road between Middle Creek and the Bowstring River
Other birds found include several Gray Jays (Alder Road), Pine Grosbeaks, 2
Ruffed Grouse (Scenic SP), Rough-legged Hawk (Hwy 38 between Bigfork & Effie),
about 50 Common Redpolls (FR 2182), and a Brown Creeper (Scenic). Shawn
