Despite the gusty wind, birding was quite productive today.. I spent
about 6.5 hours at Rapids Lake MVNWR, 1.5 hours at Carver Park and did a
short half hour hike along the shore of Lake Waconia. I saw 14
warbler species at Rapids Lake with 1 additional seen at Carver Park
that I did not see at Rapids Lake. I did not see 2 warbler species at
Rapids Lake and 1 at Carver Park that I saw yesterday. Instead 2
warbler species at Rapids Lake and 1 at Carver Park were different from
the day before. Yesterday, though, I spent just over 2 hours at Rapids
Lake.
