Went birding Mon. with John and Chris Hockema in Wabasha County.

We heard at least 2 Henslow's Sparrows singing at Weaver Dunes.  From Cty Rd 
84 take Minneiska TWP RD 141 to the end, which is a parking area for the 
Nature Conservancy tract.  From here, 1 bird was singing about 100 yards to 
the east, and the other, 100 yards to the northeast.

The 2 Loggerhead Shrikes were still hanging out together along 84 near the 
"Kellogg Weaver Dunes" sign.

Grasshopper Sparrows and Eastern Towhees were also singing in the area, and 
Red-shouldered hawks have been heard recently at Weaver Dunes, and west of 
here along the Zumbro River.
