Hello: ?Thought it would be of interest that yesterday, September 12th, we had so many warblers in our backyard here in Austin, Mn, we couldn't begin to count them all. ?There were around 20 in our pond stream bathing at once. ?They flew all over the wooded backyard, almost like in a frenzy. ?Were able to identify Nashville, Tennessee, Blackburnian, Am Redstart and a beautiful male Golden-Winged. ?Also several Red-Eyed Vireos. ?This was our third warbler wave this fall, one in August and the second one for September. This one was the largest. ?Its interesting that while Duluth is full of warblers, 240 miles to the south we are too. ?
