I was able to get out this morning for a short while. I re-found the
Tennessee Warblers, that I saw last Saturday, again this Thursday
morning. I observed them displaying by fluttering their wings and
chasing each other around. Maybe they are setting up a nesting
territory? They are at the Sioux-Hustler Hiking Trailhead, which is on
the edge of an Alder swamp. Also observed Alder Flycatchers and a
Sedge Wren.
Then I stopped at the Astrid Lake Trail Black Spruce Bog where I found
a Boreal
Chickadee. There were also vocalizing Yellow-bellied Flycatchers and a
trilling Junco. I did not hear or see any Connecticut Warblers at this
usually reliable location. I hear that we are behind normal spring
time flowering, etc. by 10 days due to cooler than normal temperatures.
