I zipped out to Beaver Creek this evening to see if I could find the chats reported by Heidi Ferguson to no avail. However Acadian Flycatchers were back in full force, and LA Waterthrushes were fairly vocal. I didn't notice a huge number of migrants, but I did find a Canada Warbler and an Olive-sided Flycatcher along the east end of the field at the end of the main trail.
I then birded Union Township from 8:30 to 11:45 PM as part of my search for Chuck-Will's-Widow. I was happy that I could cover all the roads in such a short time, so I'm hoping some of you that I have "pencilled in" for the Chuck-Will's-Widow survey can do it. No Widows tonite, but Whip-Poor-Wills just about everywhere, as well as Woodcock, G Horned and Barred Owls, Luna moths (huge buggers, they are), and a singing Henslow's Sparrow at the public end of Schleich Dr, which turns SE off of Union Ridge Dr. about 2 miles west of it's intersection with 44 just west of Hokah. Singing Henslow's at 11:30 PM. Gotta love it. Dedrick Benz Winona, MN
