[mou] Western Kingbirds +

[Pastor Al Schirmacher]

Nathan & I checked Princeton, Foley & Gilman ponds yesterday, drove the Auto
Tour & checked Highways 10 & 8 as well during the morning.

Highlights were six Western Kingbirds (four on 10 & Sherburne CR 11 corner,
fencing of automotive repair facility - two on CR 8), also a Western
Meadowlark (road to Monticello power plant off 10), Upland Sandpiper (Auto
Tour) and Wilson's Phalaropes (Princeton & Foley ponds).  There were a
numerous shorebirds, although diversity was light (primarily Leasts, also
Pectoral & Spotted, eight phalaropes).

Good birding to all!
