[mou] Henslow's Sparrows, Le Sueur County

[rdunlap@gac.edu]

This morning I birded mostly Nicolett County and a little bit of Le Sueur
County.

Notables in Nicolett:
-Dickcissels plentiful on any of the county roads west of St. Peter
-Prothonotary Warbler at the Seven Mile Creek Boat Launch- walk the trails north
of the parking lot back to the swampy area
-Least Bittern calling at the public access on the south side of Swan Lake

In Le Sueur County I drove by Kasota Prairie SNA.  At the eastern end of the
prairie I found two singing Henslow's Sparrows. They could be easily heard from
the roadside.  Had I walked the prairie, I most likely would have found more.
Also in the area were many Dickcissels, Grasshopper Sparrows, and Orchard
Orioles.

Henslow's Sparrows: Where will they be found next?
