Hi all! Went out birding this morning to River Bend Nature Center, here in Faribault and had a good variety of warblers. 12 in all. Species included: Blue-winged, Golden-winged, Northern Parula, Chestnut-sided, Magnolia, Black-throated Green, Bay-breasted, Canada, Wilson's, Ovenbird, Com. Yellowthroat, and Am. Redstart. Other interesting birds were a female Scarlet Tanager, Red-eyed, Yellow-throated, and Blue-headed Vireos, several Hummingbirds, and my first ever Yellow-billed Cuckoo. The Cuckoo was very cooperative, as I has close-up, long looks at the bird. Judging by the tail pattern, it was an immature. Strangely absent today were Tennessee, Black & White, and Nashville Warblers.
Good birding everybody!!! Dave Bartkey [email protected] Faribault, MN
