I came back to Minnesota for my St. Olaf College Reunion and also to do some birding over the Memorial Day weekend. I spent all day Sunday at Carlos Avery Wildlife Management Area and saw and heard a lot of great birds. My first ever CERULEAN WARBLER was found singing madly in an oak tree on the wooded road that leads directly east of the HQ area. Also on that road I found a RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD nest. Other warblers for the day included MOURNING, CHESTNUT-SIDED, GOLDEN-WINGED, YELLOW, COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, AMERICAN REDSTART and OVENBIRD.
