Hi Birders: I am a new birder to the area and earlier today (0930-1330) I birded Wood Lake Nature Preserve. I met some nice local birders who showed me some cool Minnesota birds. I walked the perimeter trail where migrants were thick.
Highlights for me were: Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (1); Gray-cheeked Thrush (1); 12 species of warblers (listed in order of abundance) Yellow-rumped "Myrtle", Palm, Orange-crowned, Black-and White, N. Waterthrush, Nashville, American Redstart, Ovenbird (1), Cape May (1), Yellow (1), Wilson's (1), Com Yellowthroat (1); Baltimore Oriole (3); and Harris's Sparrow (1). Next time, I'll dress warmer--I'm not in California anymore. Lookin' up, Alex Cruz Minneapolis _________________________________________________________________ Check out the coupons and bargains on MSN Offers! http://youroffers.msn.com
