Great day to be out birding this Saturday. There were 13 of us from ASK/CKAS
that went out to Camp Nelson. Had a decent list with 52 species and got most of
our grassland target species including Dickcissel, Bobolink, Blue Groasbeak,
Grasshopper Sparrow, and Bobwhite. It was a nice contrast from last week's
forest walk where we picked up some of the locally breeding warblers.
