Milton Blomberg & I checked Blue Hill Trail, Mahnomen Trail and the Auto Tour this morning. Highlights included:
* Henslow's Sparrow, CR 9, .2 mile east of Blue Hill Trail (as originally posted by Herb Dingmann) * Hooded Warbler, Blue Hill Trail (farther up hill on left than reported in past; Mourning Warbler also singing in area) * Lark Sparrows (at least five, one on Mahnomen, four on Auto Tour - looked like family group) * American Bittern (distant fly-over on Auto Tour) * Acadian Flycatcher (still singing on Mahnomen Trail) Noted that an Upland Sandpiper was reported on the Auto Tour yesterday, but we did not relocate. Good birding to all! Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties
