2017-05-22 Thread Paul Wicklund

Thank you, Eric, for these postings! We were lucky at all 3 stops, 190th, 165th, and in Forest Lake the turnstones are north of Lakeside Park, 3 docks up, but before a white fence. A spotted sandpiper was nearby, and nighthawks are migrating, too. Holly and Paul Peirson Original

I had one in Carleton Arb yesterday too, next to Kettle Marsh. I saw it only briefly when it popped up, and I wasn't able to get it to show again. Small greenish/brownish-backed warbler with black and buff striped head. It didn't sing. Since I wasn't able to get it to reappear, I didn't post it.
