After today's rainy morning and noon I went out to the W. Des Moines River in Humboldt County and checked the riparian forests for Warblers. Not a huge drop but there were patches.
The Bradgate Wildlife Area had the most species with Wilson's, Black-and-White, Chestnut-sideds (first year), Blackburnians and a couple Ovenbirds. Along the river a Tennessee Warbler was hanging out with a flock of Cedar Waxwings. And between Delaware and Colorado Aves along the river another flood of Waxwings also had a Northern Waterthrush hidden inside and a Wilson's Warbler.
