[mou] Sherburne NWR 7/8

[Pastor Al Schirmacher]

Milton Blomberg & I checked Blue Hill Trail, Mahnomen Trail and the Auto
Tour this morning.  Highlights included:

* Henslow's Sparrow, CR 9, .2 mile east of Blue Hill Trail (as originally
posted by Herb Dingmann)
* Hooded Warbler, Blue Hill Trail (farther up hill on left than reported in
past; Mourning Warbler also singing in area)
* Lark Sparrows (at least five, one on Mahnomen, four on Auto Tour - looked
like family group)
* American Bittern (distant fly-over on Auto Tour)
* Acadian Flycatcher (still singing on Mahnomen Trail)

Noted that an Upland Sandpiper was reported on the Auto Tour yesterday, but
we did not relocate.

Good birding to all!
