Stopped by Sherburne refuge on the way back from a family gathering.( The light is horrible in the late afternoon on the auto route. Best go in the morning. ) That said, I did find two Gallinules paddling about at the water control turnout (mile 2.5?). Later drove to the sight reported by Betsy Beneke with the Red-headed Woodpeckers. I saw one immediately after turning in to the drive. I was able to watch it hawk insects and did not drive further so as not to disturb the birds. I was happy to see one. Time was when you would see more dead along the roadside in a single day than you can find in a decade now. Probably not a good sign. Kurt
