A Prothonotary Warbler was back at the 2nd(beaver pond) outlet channel at
Rapids Lake MVNWR. I initially heard him, and he eventually came into view.
The Henslow's Sparrow was still in the grassland north of the north hunters
lot. While last summer the Henslow's Sparrows were further north closer to
the neighborhood, so far this year he has stayed closer to the hunters lot just
north of the dirt track that briefly heads east/west. Besides Tennessee and
resident warbler, other migrant warbler took some work to see. The most
unusual birds of the morning were a few late Purple Finch. The arboretum on
the other hand was pretty empty with only 16 species found and no obvious
migrants.
