Birding this morning at Westwood Hills Nature Park, in St. Louis Park
MN with Leslie Marcus and Phoebe Bofferding turned out to be very
birdy for migrants. The area that had by far the most birds was the
area around the parking lot and in front of the port-O-Pot. We found
several Canada Warblers feeding low in the brush along with a Golden-
winged Warbler feeding on dead leaves hanging from various small
trees. Many Black-and-whites, 1 Male Blackburnian, several Chestnut-
sided Warblers and Leslie got a Wilson's before it disappeared. In
this same area we watched Juv. Indigo Buntings feeding near the
sidewalk, and a male and Juv. Rose-breasted Grosbeak perched and
calling in the small trees above the Indigos. In the parking lot at
the turn-around was a small puddle where we watched a Canada, Black-
and-white, and an Oven Bird use it for drinks and bathing.
Here is a map to the park (it is Northwest of the A marker Willow Park
on the map)
