Just got back from a few hours at Crosby Park in St PAul. The trail is pretty
wet and the trees have definitely leafed out in the past 3 days but there were
still birds to be seen. Warblers were staying higher up toward the canopy
making for more difficult views but still had 12 species on a midday trip, not
bad. Nothing particularly noteworthy. The best bird for me was a
yellow-headed blkbird. This was the first time I have seen this bird in the
cities. List included:
Least Flycatcher
Red-eyed Vireo
Gray-cheeked Thrush
Swainson's Thrush
Baltimore Oriole
Louisiana Waterthrush
Blk-and-White Warbler
Canada Warbler
Chestnut-Sided Warbler
Magnolia Warbler
Palm Warbler
Wilson's Warbler
It's going to get tougher by the day to get good looks. Birding by ear will
soon be the rule rather than the exception.
Good Birding to All, Griff
