My wife and I got the chance to go to Sherburne NWR yesterday. We sighted 41
birds 29 at Sherburne NWR.
One the way up Marge and I stopped at Swede Lake on Caver county 10 and watched
the American Whie Pelicans.Three great Blues were nearby as well as a Great
egert in breeding plumage.At Sherburne we did the wildlife Drive twice and
drove lenght of 5 thru refuge and made a side trip down headquarters road.A
neat spot on Rt 5 was a Barred owl flying across the field.Highlights of
Wildlife Drive wereNorthen Harrier near Prairie trail.,Green heron perched in a
tree just before Bergerson,pool.a Common Loon nesting in morning then
swimming on second trip after 6pm and hearing its call.Bald Eagle was on its
nest then flying later.Eastern King Birds were all over.Got to see the Sandhill
Cranes in morning flying and calling.Saw 3 Trumpter Swans on both trips
thru.Twice a single Swan at pool between Bohm and Bergerson pools.In afternoon
a pair in Stickney pools.Black Terns were also seen on both trips flying all
around Nelson pool . They were a life lister for us.In the afternoon w
e
spotted a common nighthawk lying on a limb near Little Bluestem pool and also
saw Black bellied Plovers flying around School House pool.Saw over 10 Yellow
headed Blackbirds most of them in march between two halfs of Stickney pool.Once
you hear there call you will never foret it. We walked the forest trail out of
the wind and saw a Red headed woodpecker heard a ton of birds but could not see
them.
Beween our two trips around wildlife drive we did some birding at Sand Dunes
State forest off 5 south of refuge.
Got a life lister there Lark sparrow pair also H.O. Eastern Tohee saw a Red
tail hawk perched and saw American Goldfinch.
A great day birding!
