J. Groth 1987 journal 190. Lmi: W Au Train, elev 650 ft, Alger Co, Michigan July 13 The morning was extremely windy. Dark clouds, intermittent drizzle, and a strong and steady N wind coming off the lake. I heard no grosbeaks or other finches -- the wind noise was strong. The screen house had blown down over the night. I decided this would be a poor day to find crossbills here, so I decided to search for other good areas. I drove E on Hwy. 28 to Seney, then N to Grand Marais. The cone crops appeared poor (non-existent) on all conifer species, except a rare white pine or two with new cones. At Grand Marais, I drove E toward Deer Park. I turned off the main road (H58) at a point about 1 1/2 mi.
