[mou] Kunkel WMA, Sherburne NWR

[Pastor Al Schirmacher]

Nathan & I birded Kunkel WMA (in southern Mille Lacs County) and portions of
Sherburne NWR (Auto Tour & a bit of Blue Hill Trail).  Highlight was 50+
pelicans on the Auto Tour (up from one the week before); however, did not
refind the Yellow-billed Cuckoo or Hooded Warbler.

Interestingly, sounded like one of the Redstarts on Blue Hill Trail had been
listening to the Hooded - gave us serious pause.  Amazing how versatile &
confusing their songs can be.

Good birding to all!
