Birded all of the Blue Hill trail and the wildlife drive today. Thanks to a very kind birders excellent instructions I got to see the family of Common Moorhens in Big Bluestem pool. While observing those I was also treated to two Soras flying between the reeds halfway between the moorhens and the water control structure. Only a smattering of warblers (I actually saw more species of sparrow than warblers). Fair number of yellow-throated vireos. The most interesting siting on the Blue Hill trail was a BLACK squirrel right after entering the conifer woods past the overlook. I've never seen a black squirrel before. Doesn't count for my bird list, but it was quite interesting. Of course it refused to pose for a picture.... Ben in Chaska
