While conducting Breeding Bird Atlas work today, I found a male dickcissel singing in southeastern Clearwater County on County Road 29 just east of County Road 2, 2 miles from the Beltrami County line. Also in the area was a singing LeConte's sparrow, which I now know, from the MOU occurrence maps, is a fairly common nester in this county. Other species of interest were 5 or more black-billed magpies, at least two bobolinks and a probable red-headed woodpecker (by call but not seen).
