[mou] Kunkel WMA, Mille Lacs County

[Pastor Al Schirmacher]

Yellow-billed and Black-billed Cuckoos, Kunkel WMA (Mille Lacs County, just 
off 95 & CR 5, few miles west of 169).

Kunkel is an interesting area, while still in Mille Lacs County is south 
enough to attract birds that are unusual for the area (eg, had Grasshopper 
and Field Sparrows there this morning, neither typical for the county). 
Kunkel is not an "A" birding spot, but a decent "B", occasionally drawing 
interesting birds like Carolina Wren and Henslow's Sparrows over the last 
couple of years.  Cuckoos are relatively reliable in the summer.

Good birding to all!
