Subject: [mou-net] Sparrow workshop
Bob Janssen and I just finished our 3 day sparrow workshop based in Milbank
SD. Even with the cold and very windy conditions we got good long looks at
12 species of sparrow. By far the dominate species was Harris's Sparrow
which seem to be everywhere in big numbers this year.
LeConte's Sparrow was seen in several locations but the high point came when
one perched in very plain site on a fence rail and was content to sit there
for over four minutes.
Big Stone NWR had few sparrows but more than made up for it with quite a few
shorebirds around. One quite late Wilson's Phalarope gave us a very fleeting
view. Several Black-bellied Plovers were found and two flocks of migrating
Golden Plovers were also seen over the weekend.
