[mou] LeConte's Sparrows Anoka County

[Scott Meyer]

While driving through the Carlos Avery Unit of Carlos
Avery Wildlife Management Area on 6/15/05 I heard
numerous Le Conte's Sparrows singing on the east side
of  Pool 4.  The location is north of the Pool 4 sign
and is adjacent and east of the road (Pool 4 Road?) at
a spot directly east of a small island in Pool 4. 
Birds were singing at about 9:45 PM.  I also feel that
there are other locations near this that have Le
Conte's along the pool roads.  
 
Also seen was a Blanding's Turtle laying her eggs in a
road intersection which we stayed and guarded the
turtle until she was done.  If any wants to see
Blanding's Turtle (State Threatened) any evening now
would be good.  Carlos has so many they were not
interested in the nest.  
 
Many Grasshopper, Swamp Sparrows were seen along with
Marsh and Sedge Wrens on many of the roads.
