[mou] Chipping Sparrow - Cook Co.

[Jim & Carol Tveekrem]

First Chipping Sp. we've seen turned up this morning.  Yesterday two
Brown-headed Cowbirds.  All this into the teeth of the fifth straight day of
very gusty northeast winds.  Best news is all the frogs singing in the
shallow waters that are warm enough - Spring Peepers, but also Wood Frogs
quacking away and even a few Chorous Frogs.  Also finally saw one Mourning
Cloak butterfly.  Hope there are lots more back in the woods.
