Good Morning! There's no snow on the ground this morning. The fox sparrows are singing their beautiful songs around our HQ building. And I'm on VACATION all next week...life is good! I wonder if I could ask a favor of all of you - at least those of you who visit Sherburne this year. If you see any of the following birds during a visit, would you please share locations ASAP? These are all species that HAVE occurred here, or DO occur here, but we'd like more information on where, when and how many.
Green Heron Common Moorhen Upland Sandpiper Bobolink Dickcissel And of course, anything you think might be 'rare'. There's an updated bird checklist on our web site at: http://www.fws.gov/midwest/sherburne Our Roving Interpreters will begin their duties along the Prairie's Edge Wildlife Drive as soon as it opens, which is Saturday Morning, April 23 at sunrise. They spend lots of time on the refuge, and I've asked them to let me know what they see, so I can share that information with you. Thanks, everyone!
