Ten sparrow species at Sherburne NWR this morning (Eastern Towhee, Field, Vesper, Fox, Song, Lincoln's, Swamp, White-throated, White-crowned, Junco).
First of the year White-crowned (just not common around here during migration) makes 19 sparrow species seen/heard in the refuge this year: * Eastern Towhee * American Tree Sparrow * Chipping * Clay-colored * Field * Vesper * Lark * Savannah * Grasshopper * Henslow's (2-3 this spring & summer) * Le Conte's (single during May migration) * Fox * Song * Lincoln's * Swamp * White-throated * Harris' * White-crowned * Dark-eyed Junco 20 would probably require an act of God (Sharp-tailed during migration? Wandering Lark Bunting?). Good birding to all! Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties
