The Evening Grosbeak a Summer Resident in Northern Minnesota About a year ago, I sent a brief article on an Evening Grosbeak which I saw in the month of July, 1917, near the Inter- national Boundary, north of Lake Super- ior on Gunflint Lake. The actions of the bird and the information I gained about the species from settlers, lead me to think that the birds were nesting in that region, although I did not find a nest.
