Yesterday I enjoyed a bird walk with two enthusiastic and skilled friends, Suzanne and Lorry, at Hok-si-la Park on the east end of Lake City, accessed from Hwy 61. We met Bruce Baer, who joined us, and was also a great help with some of the bird ID, and in locating the birds. The day stayed reasonably cool until noon, and the birds were constantly active and in good variety, even in the pm.
Highlights were: Warblers: Ovenbird (heard only) Golden-winged Black-and-White Prothonotary Tennessee Nashville Common Yellowthroat American Redstart Cape May (great views of several) Northern Parula Magnolia Yellow Chestnut-sided Palm Yellow-rumped Black-throated Green Wilson's Other notable birds: Blue-gray Gnatcatcher Scarlet Tanager (male and female) Baltimore Oriole (everywhere) Blue-headed Vireo Red-eyed Vireo Empidonax Flycatcher sp. (silent) Barred Owl Yellow-bellied Sapsucker ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
