[mou] CAROLINA WREN at Grey Cloud Island Thursday, Grey Cloud Dunes SNA birds

[Jesse Ellis]

Hey all-

Another LATE report, I apologize.

At around 6:45 on June 1, my dad John Ellis and I found a singing 
Carolina Wren at 1300 Grey Cloud Trail near Hastings, Minnesota.  We 
were driving slowly when I heard a descending "jeeer" call, which I 
recognized immediately as a CAROLINA WREN.  We backed up and waited 
for a few minutes and heard him "teakettling" twice.  This was 
clearly someone's yard so we didn't sit there too long, since he 
seemed to have moved off after his first song.

After that we made our way to Grey Cloud Dunes Scientific and Natural 
Area, where we had some great birds:

Grasshopper Sparrow - numerous
Lark Sparrow - 2
Brown Thrasher - 2
Orchard oriole - 1 - a green (1st year) male singing
Dickcissel - numerous
Eastern Towhee - 1

Sorry again aboutt he late post
Jesse

that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only 
unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American 
public." --Theodore Roosevelt

now there are robins all over their villages."
