Nathan, Maya (new bird dog, four breeds mixed in seven pounds of puppy) and 
I spent the morning in Sherburne Refuge.  No rarities, but did have 11 
sparrow species:

* Henslow's (CR 70)
* Lark (175th)
* Grasshopper (seemingly everywhere)
* As well as the eight more common sparrows among 67 overall species.  Still 
hitting 90-100 species weekly in the area, many singing (with the exception 
of most warblers - pish 'em out or miss 'em).

Also had a Red-headed Woodpecker on Mille Lacs 7 - seem to be a touch more 
common in southern Mille Lacs County this year.

Good birding to all!
