From one observation point on a short nine-hole golf course this morning I counted 120 warblers. Moving twice to get views around and over nearby small hills, trying to avoid counting any bird twice, I add 74 more. They were foraging in the fairway grass. I'm certain I didn’t count them all. The birds were spread over approximately four acres. Most were Yellow-rumped. There were about 40 Palm Warblers, and two Yellow Warblers. I could find no other species. Unfortunately, the golf course is private, access limited. I was there because I tend nest boxes on the course. A couple of photos showing concentrations are on my StarTribune blog.
