[mou] Black Bellied Plover +

[Pastor Al Schirmacher]

Black Bellied Plover, Sherburne CR 3 & 23 intersection pond (first I've seen 
in the county during my three years here).

44 pelicans this morning on the refuge auto tour.

12 warblers in Sherburne & Mille Lacs County since Friday; however, 
Yellow-rumpeds & Nashvilles are predominant.  84 species over the extended 
weekend (Friday through Monday morning) while working.

Mildly unusual - have not seen a White-crowned Sparrow in the area since 
Fall 2005 migration - also missed throughout 2004 - do they simply not 
migrate much through the center of the state, or...?

Good birding to all!
