Ten More Species

Since my last post, I have been birding from one side of Minnesota to the other.  I've traveled from the Gunflint Trail, to Duluth, to the Park Rapids area, Moorhead, and the Twin Cities.  I have hiked through the boreal transition forest, the hardwood forest, and the prairie in search of interesting birds.  The list below is of the next 10 species of my Birding Big Year:

108. Green Heron (Butorides virescens) - Roseville, MN

109. Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) - North Shore of Lake Superior, MN

110. Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus) - Hawk Ridge, Duluth, MN

111. Franklin's Gull (Larus pipizcan) - Crow Wing Lakes Chain, MN

112. Palm Warbler (Dendroica palmarum) - Buffalo River State Park, MN

113. Connecticut Warbler (Oporornis agilis) - Buffalo River State Park, MN

114. Brewer's Blackbird (Euphagus cyanocephalus) - Moorhead, MN

115. Harlequin Duck (Histrionicus histrionicus) - Grand Marais, MN

116. Lapland Longspur (Calcarius lapponicus) - Kadunce River Wayside, Lake Superior, MN
