This morning at Wood Lake Nature Center in Richfield, Hennepin County I birded with Howard Towle and we had a great early morning enjoying "21" species of Warblers. New arrivals in the park for me were the Bay-breasted, Canada, and Mourning with high numbers of Wilson's, Black-throated Green, and Chestnut-sided moving through.
There were more Swainson's Thrushes than I have ever seen in one day with easily 40+ with Veery's and Gray-cheeked out on the paths. I also enjoyed my first Philadelphia Vireo which have been slow coming this Spring. There is still a good variety of Sparrows utilizing the gravel paths.
