The variety and number of warbler/vireo in the area has sharply declined being
replaced by kinglets, sparrow, and in the past couple of days the usual surge
of Yellow-rumped Warbler. This month most of my time has been spent at Rapids
Lake, as both Carver Park and the arboretum yielded less migrants during my
visits this fall compared to previous falls. Typically I consider birding to
be better at Rapids Lake during the spring season and better at Carver
Park/arboretum during the fall season. That has not been the case this year
for the fall season.
