Following a tip from Pastor Al, I looked for and found a DICKCISSEL at the beginning of the Prairie's Edge Wildlife Drive this morning. The bird was on the south side of the entrance road between CR 5 and the Oak Savanna Trail (where the restroom is) parking lot. It was quite a ways out there - although I could hear it's song, I needed my spotting scope and had the magnification cranked up quite a bit to be able to have a good look.
Also, there is a BOBOLINK singing in the field just south of the Blue Hill Trail parking lot. This is between CR 9 and Deer Pool. Visitors should be able to see and hear the bird from the shoulder of CR 9, just across from the parking lot. Although neither bird is all that rare, they're considered "good birds" for Sherburne!
