Scott Clark asked me to post this message for him because he doesn't have internet access on weekends:
Scott and Marilyn Clark found a single male Magnolia Warbler this Saturday morning at Carlos Avery WMA. Scott says that they had a long and nice view of the bird and are certain of its id. This date is a full two weeks earlier than the previous early record for this species according to the information that I have. Maybe a harbinger of things to come this Spring? The bird was seen about 1/2 mile west of the intersection of Zodiac and the main interior road of Carlos Avery. Howard Towle Golden Valley, MN
