Hi all, I will be driving across central/southern Minnesota on Saturday May 11th, and as I won't be pressed for time I was hoping to make a stop or two for birding. Henslow's Sparrow is my primary target, but Gray-cheeked Thrush would be a lifer as well. Based on recent reports both here and on eBird, I was considering either Carver Park Reserve or Crow-Hassan Park Reserve. I'll likely be arriving in that area in the early afternoon (not ideal, I know), and I can spend a couple of hours searching before I'll need to continue west. If anyone would recommend one of these locations over the other, or has specific tips about how to find Henslow's Sparrow at Carver or Crow-Hassan, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. I'm assuming that Gray-cheeked Thrush is a possibility pretty much anywhere wooded, and being a migrant probably more difficult to predict, but if folks have them I'm open to ideas on that one too. Thanks in advance!
