Nathan & I birded Kunkel WMA (in southern Mille Lacs County) and portions of Sherburne NWR (Auto Tour & a bit of Blue Hill Trail). Highlight was 50+ pelicans on the Auto Tour (up from one the week before); however, did not refind the Yellow-billed Cuckoo or Hooded Warbler.
Interestingly, sounded like one of the Redstarts on Blue Hill Trail had been listening to the Hooded - gave us serious pause. Amazing how versatile & confusing their songs can be. Good birding to all! Al & Nathan Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties
