Seven shorebird species in Sherburne (Refuge Auto Tour and Princeton Sewage
Ponds) yesterday, five of which were certainly not resident, migration is
beginning. Short-billed Dowitcher was most interesting of the lot.
Surprised to hear a Winter Wren singing in the Ann Lake Campground (Sand
Dunes) area this morning here in Sherburne County. Perhaps I shouldn't be,
its northern list during winter is quite impressive (Bohemian Waxwing, both
Crossbills, Townsend's Solitaire, Northern Goshawk, Common Raven,
Black-backed Woodpecker over the last five years).
Good birding to all.
