I had planned to spend most of the morning at Carver Park, but after 2 hours
and short stops at a few places across the park and generally low warbler
numbers(besides summer residents) I decided to do a quick rural sweep and a
short stop at Rapids Lake. Highlights at Carver Park were Chimney Swift,
Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Red-eyed Vireo, Gray-cheeked Thrush, Wood Thrush,
Ovenbird(2), Golden-winged Warbler(1), Blue-winged Warbler(4), Tennessee
Warbler(6), Nashville Warbler(1), Northern Parula(1), Palm Warbler(1),
Yellow-rumped Warbler(1), Black-throated Green Warbler(1), Scarlet Tanager(2),
and White-crowned Sparrow. In rural Carver County I found a couple Least
Sandpiper and some Purple Martins. Hightlights at Rapids Lake were Blue-winged
Warbler(3), Black and White Warbler(1), Tennessee Warbler(15), Nashville
Warbler(2), Northern Parula(1), Blackburnian Warbler(1), Yellow-rumped
Warbler(6), and Eastern Towhee.
On Tuesday May 8 I found 15 warbler species in the county, but it took going to
Carver Park, Rapids Lake, and the landscape arboretum to get that many. Other
highlights that day were Sora, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Blue-headed Vireo,
Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Veery, Swainson's Thrush, Eastern Towhee(Carver Park),
Lincoln's Sparrow, Harris's Sparrow, and White-crowned Sparrow.
