These two May field trips still have openings:
>  
> * MOU Sherburne Refuge Tour, Tuesday, May 15th.  7:30 AM, meet at Sherburne Refuge's Mahnomen trail.  Trip limited to 20 registrants.  Field trip leader, Al Schirmacher.  We will cover three trails (two hiking, one auto tour), emphasizing spring migrants/warblers (we often break 20 species), as well as resident nesters like Lark Sparrow.  Register with Al directly at pastoral@princetonfreechurch.net
>  
> * MOU Highway 169 Big Day Tour, Thursday, May 17th.  Bit of an unusual tour.  Meet at 3:30 AM in Rice Lake Refuge parking lot along Highway 65.  Trip limited to 10 birders willing to do a Big Day together in 3-4 vehicles.  Trip leader, Al Schirmacher.  We will cover Aitkin, Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties, from Aitkin County 18 south to Sherburne Refuge, generally along the 169 corridor.  Anticipate seeing and hearing 130 + - species.  Anticipated completion time, 8:00 PM.  Although we will not sprint from location to location, and are not trying to break any records, this is for those with the passion & stamina & relational skills to do a Big Day together.  Minnesota park stickers will probably be necessary.  We start early to hear Yellow Rails, LeConte's and maybe Sharp-tailed Sparrows.  Register with Al directly at pastoral@princetonfreechurch.net
