Yesterday afternoon I found 3 yellow-rumped warblers in different locations along the Mississippi River, one in Benton County at the Sauk Rapids Municipal Park - along with eastern phoebe and both kinglets. Another bird was in Stearns County on the campus of the VA Hospital, and a third along the Sauk River in Waite Park.
On the Miss. River, waterfowl are a lot more spread out as the river is opening up, but I did see my first red-breasted mergansers of the year. An osprey was sitting on the river side of CR 1, about 1/2 mile west of Hwy. 15.
