I had 8 species of warblers in my yard yesterday: Tennessee, Chestnut-sided, Yellow-Rumped, Black-throated Green, Black and White, Am. Redstart, Ovenbird, and Co. Yellowthroat. I live near Carlos Avery in Anoka Co.
Migration seems to be a little slow, but you have to remember that our leaves came out early so it may just seem that the birds are late when they are right on... I have had all but the Tennessee and Yellow-rumped stay to nest at different times, and know it's possible to see these species during summer closer than the North Shore. Some good places are Murphy-Hanrehan, Sherburne NWR and Sand Dunes State Forest (contiguous), Carlos Avery, Crex Meadows and other parks near the St. Croix... Nickerson Bog, Carver Park, to name a few that I know of. Look for the Black-throated Green in large pine stands, and the rest in deciduous woods, and near marshes. Good warblering!
