I was in Freeborn County Friday eve and Saturday AM. On Saturday morning =
at Myre-Big island State Park, I found at least 4 Henslow's Sparrows =
singing or rather "Tslicking". They were on the entrance road between =
the contact station and where the tarred road turns left. The field =
seemed similar to the fields I found them in last year. Tall weeds =
sticking up over grass. They were mostly calling from down in the grass =
and would only pop up for a second or two. Does anyone know if there is =
a previous record in Freeborn?
Also at the park on Friday evening near the sewage pond, I found a =
woodcock Doing it's spring peent. There was also a Barred Owl at that =
location.
A few warblers-Northern Waterthrush singing. The Big Island parking lot =
had many Swainson's Thrushes and one Gray Cheeked Thrush on the Little =
Island.=20
Note: the gates were down Saturday morning blocking driving access to =
Big Island and the road to the Big marsh (sewage pond) so you have to =
hike. They still weren't open when I left just before 8AM. I hope this =
isn't a new policy.
