Birded Sherburne NWR (all of which is open now that breeding is past), Princeton/Foley/Gilman ponds and Milaca's hiking/biking trail over the last few days:
* 14 warbler species (N. Parula the best, unfortunately YR have moved in, signaling beginning of the end) * 11 Blue-Headed Vireos on Saturday in the refuge * Single Common Raven (Sherburne CR 16) * Numerous pelicans & Trumpeter Swans. Shorebirds were virtually non-existent (three species). No flocks of Sabine's, unfortunately (what a sighting, Tom!). Good birding to all. Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties
