I had a number of good sightings in Cass County today. Highlights include:
- Least Bittern at the Winnie Ponds Management Area, previously reported by Ben Wieland - Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow where the Boy River crosses CR 8, just south of CR 4, previously reported by Ben Wieland - Leconte's Sparrows at Federal Dam, Boy River, and CR 139 - American White Pelicans at Mud Lake - 4 Black Terns mobbing a Great Blue Heron at Mud Lake Made a cursory check in Bena for the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher but did not find it. I was fortunate enough to get nice looks at both sparrow species.
