At least 5 Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrows were present
last night (5/30) at the Boy River marsh where Cass
County 8 crosses the Boy River.  One additional NSTS
was heard in the marsh along Cass County 4,
approximately 1 mile east of 8.  The birds started
vocalizing at around 9:30 PM.  No Yellow Rails.
