May 15, 2007 Went birding with a small group today to Sherburne and Kanabec Counties. Here is a short list of some of the species observed today.
7:30 - 8:00 am - Sand Dunes State Forest - Trailhead, just off of CR 4 Pine Warbler Eastern Towhee 8:15 - 8:25 am - Entrance to the Wildlife Drive - Sherburne NWR Grasshopper Sparrow 8:30 - 9:30 am - Blue Hill Trail - Sherburne NWR Blue-headed Vireo Mourning Warbler Grasshopper Sparrow 9:35 - 10:30 am - Mahnomen Trail - Sherburne NWR Gray-cheeked Thrush Swainson's Thrush Lark Sparrow Lincoln's Sparrow White-crowned Sparrow Kanabec County 12:45 - 1:50 Pm - We tried unsuccessfully for the previously posted Northern Mockingbird. The directions to the location were easy to follow, but there was a number of people working in the area. So that may have disturbed the bird prior to our arrival.
