The bird I reported earlier today as a blackburnian warbler was misidentified. I did not see the bird myself and was going on the ID that was given to me and seemed plausible with the information I had.
Thanks to those of you who wrote to me and very politely suggested that ID was extremely unlikely. I asked Roger to look at a picture of a male varied thrush and whalaa- that is what he has. Sorry for the erroneous information posted earlier. Anyone wanting to see this bird should contact Roger directly at 320-354-2418. It is just east of Sibley Park in Kandiyohi county.
