Ten sparrow species at Sherburne NWR this morning (Eastern Towhee, Field, 
Vesper, Fox, Song, Lincoln's, Swamp, White-throated, White-crowned, Junco).

First of the year White-crowned (just not common around here during 
migration) makes 19 sparrow species seen/heard in the refuge this year:

* Eastern Towhee
* American Tree Sparrow
* Chipping
* Clay-colored
* Field
* Vesper
* Lark
* Savannah
* Grasshopper
* Henslow's (2-3 this spring & summer)
* Le Conte's (single during May migration)
* Fox
* Song
* Lincoln's
* Swamp
* White-throated
* Harris'
* White-crowned
* Dark-eyed Junco

20 would probably require an act of God (Sharp-tailed during migration? 
Wandering Lark Bunting?).

Good birding to all!
