I'm listening to a singing Nelson's Sparrow right now at Crosby Farm Park
in St. Paul. The bird is singing from the cattails on the east side of the
boardwalk, opposite the wooden dock and blind, on the west side of the park.

At about 8:30AM Saturday I heard a Connecticut Warbler sing repeatedly the the
Kruger Recreation Area. At the back of the main entrance there is a paved
trail which periodically splits off from itself and reconnects. When in doubt,
veer left and follow paved trail to it's absolute end. There

Spent two hours this morning looking for warblers and vireos but was unable to
make out anything other than a couple redstarts and a common yellowthroat.
I give up and may just wait till fall when perhaps leaves will fall from the
trees. Apparently I'm doing something wrong.

A Prothonotary Warbler was back at the 2nd(beaver pond) outlet channel at
Rapids Lake MVNWR. I initially heard him, and he eventually came into view.
The Henslow's Sparrow was still in the grassland north of the north hunters
lot. While last summer the Henslow's Sparrows were further north

Once that green curtain so tightly is drawn,
So that only the patient or lucky may see:
You know that they're there
And too soon will be gone,
So heed more to the sound and less to the feather
Of those birds so well hidden or sing, Woe is me.
Hang in there and do the best that you can. I guess
I spent an hour down by the Minnesota River in Bloomington yesterday morning
and saw very little. Either the warbler flight has peaked or the weather was
too nice. Try a rainy day.

I couldn't find what I thought was a bird hike conducted by the Wild River
Audubon chapter, but I did see 34 species, including 5 thrushes, in about 4
hours of driving and hiking. So it was a good day.

Chad Heins just called to report that he and Andrew Krenz are looking at a
Laughing Gull on Sulem Lake southwest of Butterfield in southwest Watonwan
County. He said the bird may be injured as one of its wings looks a bit odd.

Refuge Mandy Lake, Aitkin County, and 9 were observed at the Ironton Sewer
Ponds, Co. Rd. 31, Crow Wing County. Also at the Ironton Sewer Ponds was a

After further discussion from Chad and others, it sounds like the Laughing
Gull in Watonwan County reported earlier this evening is actually an
injured Franklin's Gull.
