A Connecticut Warbler was seen in Crosby Farm this morning at 9:15. It was along the path closest to the ditch that parallels I-35E?s southbound lanes. It was seen during an unsuccessful attempt to relocate the Prothonotary Warbler. Pretty good BGBY bird though.
Julian, my Big Green Big Year (self-propelled by bicycle) list stands at 75, based from our house in St Paul. BGBY [walking] is just 25. Same regrets not getting out more. And my BGBY-SP based from the cottage is Duluth is at 81. Just one excursion to Park point so far (but, hey, that?s 10 miles each way!). BGBY [walking] is 70. Pretty humble totals, but keeps the car in the garage and increases my heart rate. If others would like to reply with their BGBY lists (walking or self-propelled) back channel, I?d be happy to summarize for MOU-NET. Might be convenient to do so as you?re checking your Spring season totals this weekend for submission to http://moumn.org/moureports/season.html. Look for a BGBY summary by June 5.
