Re: [mou-net] fall migrants in your backyard

[Kathryn Young]

I went to my usual haunts this morning (Minnetonka Blvd and Shady Oak  
Rd, and a small park called Orchard Park in Minnetonka) hoping to find  
some fall migrants.  I found several Ruby-crowned Kinglets, White- 
throated Sparrows and Yellow-rumped Warblers moving thru. I returned  
home (in the area of Shady Oak Rd. and Hwy 7 west) and spotted some  
movement in the brush and trees.  I was soon rewarded with Golden- 
crowned and Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Brown Creeper (1), Red-breasted  
Nuthatch(1), Orange-crowned Warbler (1), White-throated Sparrows,  
Yellow-rumps, Dark-eyed Juncos,  Robins, and Chimney Swifts overhead  
(4).  Some times it pays to just stay home.
