After Conny's post I took a chance that Palm Warblers will have arrived at Lake Elmo Park (Washington Co.) and I finally found one. It was on the east side of Eagle Point Lake, a little north of where Trail A tees. Palm Warblers in past years have favored the west side of the lake, north of the ski shelter with the 2 picnic tables. That stretch has grassland on the west side and oak between the path and the lake. What I did find in that spot for a second day was a Savannah Sparrow.
The Yellow-rumped Warblers were thicker than honey today. The nice thing was that many of them were low or on the ground. Other sightings: Brown Creeper Yellow-bellied Sapsucker Purple Martin Cooper's Hawk Savannah Sparrow Palm Warbler Lake Elmo Park is north of Hwy 94, at the Cty. 19 exit. Take Cty 19 north to the park. The 1st parking lot you come to is were I park. Linda Sparling Hennepin County
