The weather was beautiful, the woods was lovely dark and deep but in the
Headwaters Wilderness (aka Pine River area east of Three Lakes) there were very
few birds active on Friday: Ruffed Grouse at dawn. C. Redpolls at many stops
but otherwise only BC Chickadees. Alvin was busy with P. Siskins and C.
Redpolls but no Evening Grosbeaks. I had an ice fishing promise to keep so
after birding all day on Friday I headed to Lac Vieux Desert.
On my return Sunday I finally after four years of searching in all seasons
found two BOREAL CHICKADEEs roadside at the big bog just west of the
intersection of Giant Pine Rd and Pine River Rd. This is very near where Mike
D reported them on Saturday. It was a thrill watching these little guys
feeding in the tamaracks. Crows and Raven were present along Pine River Rd.
and at the river crossing there were B. Creeper and Hairy Woodpecker. But no
other boreal birds. Alvin again was without Evening Grosbeaks.
