These species nested in neighboring fields in Crow-Hassan Park in
Hennepin last summer.

Subject: [mou] Grasshopper & LeConte's Sparrows Question

Are there many examples of Grasshopper & LeConte's Sparrows
"overlapping" in 
Minnesota?

There is a place in the Mille Lacs WMA (1-2 miles north of the CR 20 &
100th 
Avenue intersection southern access) where LeConte's have been heard and

seen the last two summers (and probably earlier) - was surprised to hear
an 
emphatic Grasshopper Sparrow call just a few fields south on Saturday.

Thanks for any input.
