On this morning's Urban Bird Fest walk at Battle Creek Park in St. Paul, we heard two Mourning Warblers singing and two cuckoos. One of the cuckoos sounded like a Yellow-billed, the other sounded like a Black-billed. I think cuckoos are not always honest. The other notable warbler was a Cape May. Red-eyed Vireos and Eastern Wood-Pewees have returned. The location is the wooded hill between Upper and Lower Afton Roads and between Battle Creek Road and Winthrop Street. Easiest access is from the rec center parking lot on Winthrop Street. Both Mourning Warblers were in the southern half of the woods, one in the upper part, the other in the wooded valley to the south.
