The first one I've seen in about 10 years and the last place I'd expect one. Cerulean Warblers in the backyard of my father's cabin in Stearns County growing up. They returned each summer for years. Parking lot: Peregrines every once in a while in St. Paul. Work: White-winged Crossbill. Hotel: I got nothing. Other: I once had a covey of Bob-white quail run through my legs-this at Jamaica Bay in New York.
