Heard a Chat singing at Frontenac State Park this AM for about 30-40 seconds. I never saw it and did not hear it sing again after listening, looking around and poking about for a half hour. There is a peninsula of woods in a draw pointing directly at the restrooms at the parking area at the end of the drive at the park. The bird sang from the edge of the woods about 100 yards from the tip of this wooded area. Also saw an Orchard Oriole and heard at least two Henslows in the prairie grass left of the road just at the top of the steep part of the hill going up. Weaver Dunes had Grasshoppers, Dicksissels, at least one Henslows, and at least two Bell's Vireos singing this AM. From the large sign along cnty 84, park and walk the dirt trail that goes back to the parking area that opens in the fall. Listen for the Bell's at the woody, shrubby areas. John Ellis-St. Paul
