Andy Forbes and I had a singing Bell's Vireo just west of Big Stone NWR= on Saturday evening. Go south from HQ on route 15 a couple of miles to th= e base of the big hill, then turn right at the crossroad on to route 15, = and go 1.1 miles past the Yellow Bank River bridge to where the road overlo= oks both the refuge on the north and the Yellow Bank River on the south (Pileated often here). The bird was on the south side of the road alon= g with a calling BBCuckoo. This was part of a long big day starting at 3= .30 a.m. in Sherburne County and looping out to Big Stone country. We reco= rded 144 species including 4 peep species and a Ruddy Turnstone at Albany se= wage ponds, Yellow-bellied Fly and Connecticut Warbler at St. John's, and Gr= ey Partridge and Swainson's Hawk in Kandiyohi County.
