* Sherburne NWR, Blue Hill Trail this morning: Henslow's Sparrow (almost
becoming a regular - fourth hearing this spring/summer in area), Mourning
Warbler (among eight total warblers, no migrants), Wood Thrush (don't often
find in the refuge), Golden-crowned Kinglets (conifers, summering again?)
* Carlos Avery on Saturday: Acadian Flycatcher (with slightly strange song,
not as clear a "Peetz-Up" as I've heard in the past), Yellow-billed Cuckoo
(seen & heard); unfortunately, both the Hudsonian Godwit (seen Friday night,
rapidly becoming Nathan's jinx bird) and Whimbrel (not seen since Wednesday)
were gone
* Also had four Dickcissels in Mille Lacs backyard on Saturday, one (as the
previous two years) has stayed since.
Good birding to all!
