Scharr's Bluff, Spring Lake RP, Hastings 8/22/09 8am-noon Eight species of warblers. Nice group of migrants. All found on sunny edges.
Migrants included: -Male Prothonotary (photographed, first migrant of this species I can recall ever seeing in MN.) -Northern Parula (female) -Canada (imm. male) -Nashville ~ 75 -Tennessee ~ 5 -Black-and-white - few Plus these 4 vireos, all in the same honeysuckle ! (125 m east of east parking lot along south edge of woods) In fact, this honeysuckle was THE spot today, and has been for several days. -Philadelphia -Warbling -Yellow-throated -Red-eyed Finally, I had a too brief look (got a very poor photo) of a very pale throated Myiarchus flycatcher at this same honeysuckle that showed only a hint of yellow on underparts. Almost certainly an unusually pale Great Crested (way early for Ash-throated), but keep an eye out, just in case... good birding, Jim Eagan ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
