[mou] fox sparrows

[Tallman, Dan]

 I was in your fair state Saturday and managed to bird below the Minnesota
Valley NWR headquarters.  I saw more Fox Sparrows there then I have ever
seen at one location.  At least 12.  

Other birds of interest included

Pileated Woodpecker
Barred Owl 
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (2)
Swamp Sparrow

One of the advantages to being a NE South Dakotan is that I am not jaded by
cardinals, which we do not have at home.  On the way home, near Big Stone,
we saw Tundra Swan and a Turkey Vulture

Andrew Longtin mentioned a fox sp--yesterday I had 5 in my yard, in
Clear Lake--all at the same time, in two groups. It was wonderful.
