Began the morning at Carver Park Reserve where, while quiet(at times eerily so), I did manage to find some migrants. Warblers were scattered. Most of the Yellow-rumped were gone, so I didn't have those to fill the void. Still a few Ruby-crowned Kinglets, though. I finished with a quick stop at Rapids Lake, MVNWR and found my first wave of warblers where Yellow-rumped were actually outnumbered. The most active areas at Carver Park were occupied by sparrows and other grassland birds. At Rapids Lake, the first Eastern Kingbird and Eastern Meadowlark(not sure why these are so much later in arriving here than at Carver Park) have arrived. Only flycatcher of the day were a couple of Least ,and Yellow-throated were the only vireo of the day at both Carver Park and Rapids Lake. A few Swainson's Thrush were around as well.
