* 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!
