The Migration is back on.

After a few slow days along the North Shore, the short-distance migrants are on the move again... in the thousands. Robins, Rusty Blackbirds, Pipits, and Yellow-rumped (Myrtle) Warblers make up the bulk of the movement.

A researcher will be at the Knife River Wayside on Thursday Oct 7th, Wolf Rock near Castle Danger (off of the Superior Hiking Trail) on Friday Oct 8th, and the Lax Lake Overlook on either Saturday or Sunday depending on wind direction. If the winds are out of the east, we generally see less birds so if west winds occur on Sunday and not Saturday, we will survey Lax Lake on Sunday instead.
