Birded Vilas County yesterday in the strong south winds then headed to Ashland
for an early birding day today. Greeted with 37 degrees and strong north winds
spitting rain and snow at 4 a.m. Stayed cold most of the day, but a good day,
especially in Ashland along the beach as shorebirds gathered to feed on insects
and other stuff washed in on the waves. Great looks at a Willet, Dunlin and
several gulls including a lesser black-backed that dropped in for a short visit
before moving east. Also had great looks at an Arctic tern.
Moved inland to Copper Falls and had to shed the coat. Warblers were good all
along the road to the falls. 6 short-billed dowitchers fed right next to the
road at Loon lake. Broadwing Hawks were also quite numerous. Interesting
temperature contrasts today with Duluth's high of 43 contrasting to St. Paul's
high of 97.
