On 24 and 25 June there was a singing male Black-throated Green =20 Warbler at Murphy-Hanrehan Park, Dakota Co. I first found him 200 =20 yards SSE of trail marker #9 on 24 June (morning). By that afternoon =20 he had moved 350 yds. NE, where he remained through 25 June (mid =20 afternoon). This location is 100 yds. NW of marker #6, where he =20 appears to have established a territory.
Those who saw the cooperative and conspicuous male Hooded Warbler =20 that sang so frequently near the trail south of marker #13 may be =20 interested to know that he eventually did attract a mate and they =20 have a nest. Unfortunately they are raising two cowbird young, which =20 should fledge in about 2-3 days. All three Hooded Warbler nests I=92ve =20= found so far this year were doubly parasitized: one fledged two =20 cowbirds last week, and another has two cowbird eggs and one warbler =20 egg. Bruce A.
