Hey all- Another LATE report, I apologize.
At around 6:45 on June 1, my dad John Ellis and I found a singing Carolina Wren at 1300 Grey Cloud Trail near Hastings, Minnesota. We were driving slowly when I heard a descending "jeeer" call, which I recognized immediately as a CAROLINA WREN. We backed up and waited for a few minutes and heard him "teakettling" twice. This was clearly someone's yard so we didn't sit there too long, since he seemed to have moved off after his first song. After that we made our way to Grey Cloud Dunes Scientific and Natural Area, where we had some great birds: Grasshopper Sparrow - numerous Lark Sparrow - 2 Brown Thrasher - 2 Orchard oriole - 1 - a green (1st year) male singing Dickcissel - numerous Eastern Towhee - 1 Sorry again aboutt he late post Jesse -- Jesse Ellis, Ph.
