Week overview from Sherburne (primarily the refuge and Princeton sewage

* 13 sparrows - Henslow's highlight - missed Harris' & Savannah - best area 
is Sherburne NWR's auto tour

* 6 shorebirds - couple of Dowitchers (presumably Long-billed this time of 
year) - best area is Princeton sewage ponds on CR2

* 6 warblers - 99% Yellow-rumped - otherwise Nashville, Tennessee, 
Orange-crowned, Palm, Redstart

* Common Raven (calling, then seen over Blue Hill Trail, Sherburne NWR)

* Red-necked Grebes (four at Princeton ponds), American Pipit (same)

Good birding to all!
