We birded Glacial Lakes State Park in Pope County on Monday, 7/3 and =
saw/heard good quantities of 4 of the 5 most common species of resident =
sparrows (Field, Clay-colored, Swamp, and Chipping) in addition to the =
usual swallows, ducks, pheasants, and blackbirds. Grasshopper Sparrow =
present but only heard one. Also many Dickcissels near the prairie =
campsites. No Sage Wrens heard or seen. Saw several Black Terns - =
swooping and hovering over the pond - beautiful! Common Yellowthroats =
everywhere!
Has anyone seen Lark Buntings at Glacial Lakes? Saw a female that =
looked like a Lark Bunting. Since it was not near the water, was =
foraging on the path in front of us, had a gray, conical bill, and was =
not as deeply streaked as I would expect a Red-Winged Blackbird, we =
wondered if it might be a possible Lark Bunting. Red-Winged Blackbirds =
are very common in the area. This would be the eastern edge of the Lark =
Buntings typical range but the habitat seemed appropriate for the birds. =
