Tuesday morning Vic Lewis, Bill Brown and I spent a chilly, breezy, buggy
morning birding Sherburne NWR. Counting birds we saw driving up and back we
got 71 species.
We were not able to find the cerulean warbler and it was too windy to hear the
least bitterns. Highlights were a great view of
As I was riding my bike to work this morning a sandhill crane flew over me at
tree-top height. This was near the intersection of Cherokee Ave. and Baker St.
on the West Side.

Bob, Sorry to tag on to your e-mail but I am not very technical. At my lake
cabin on Osakis I saw a Clarks Grebe. This is not the hybrid we have been
seeing the last few years on the South side of the lake. I saw it about 5 feet
off my starboard bow and it was clearly a Clarks. I saw it on

Wednesday evening I re-found 2 of 3 Black-crowned Night Herons found by Jim
Mattson in the dead trees on the un-named lake on the S. side of Cliff Rd.
off of Robert Trail. (Hwy 3). 2 out of 3 ain't bad. It was FOY and a
county 1st for me.
Thanks to Jim Mattson for the mention.

There were at least 20 Am. White Pelicans on the western portion of Lake
Vadnais along Rice Street, probably at least 20 additional pelicans flew off
just as we arrived. In the same area were 20 egrets. While we were
observing the birds on the water, high above a flock of 57 pelicans flew
over h
I was also at Lake Vadnais this morning, and in addition to Gail's report,
found a pair of Broad-Winged Hawks, frequently calling and also chasing other
birds off. Nearby, before seeing the birds, I found what looks like a hawk or
owl nest, though I didn't see the birds at the nest at any point
Dwayne Smothers reported two sightings of a Red-Headed Woodpecker at
his son Richard's home 1/2 mile west of Lura Lake, Blue Earth Cty.
First he has seen in that area in several years. He has NOT seen the
Red Crossbill today.

Liz Stanley posted about a summer tanager at Afton SP.
I got a brief look at the bird today and recorded the song and some calls. The
bird had no red - only yellow.
If someone with expertise with this bird wishes to hear these please, email me
and I will send the recordings.
Thanks

I went back again after dinner to see if I could get a better look at the
bird. I also recruited a more experienced birder to accompany me. What we
found was - a female orchard oriole (that was obviously what I saw). She was
not the one doing the singing though. There was also a first year male
