I woke up hoping that the recent cold front passage would have blown some migrants south into Carver Park. I was wrong, except that some of the birds that had been here may have been blown further south. There was a small number of migrants, including an increase of Tennessee Warblers(one of which was a male in breeding plumage). There wasn't as much variety either compared to the weekend. I finally found the pair of Pileated Woodpeckers that I know reside at the park but haven't been able to find all year. I also saw what I assume was a Willow Flycatcher(based on their lack of eye ring) feeding a begging young. It must have been a late hatch. Still no migrant thrushes to be seen. There was also an Olive-sided Flycatcher near King Blind. Warblers: American Redstart(3) Common Yellowthroat(4, definite decrease of both Redstart and Yellowthroat, or they were just not active) Yellow Warbler(1 immature) Tennessee Warbler(13) Nashville Warbler(2) Golden-winged Warbler(2) Bay-breasted Warbler(1) Northern Waterthrush(2) On Labor Day at Chaska Lake, MVNWR, there were Tennesse, Black and White, Chestnut-sided, Magnolia, Wilson's, and Nashville Warbler.
