Between 4:45-6:45 PM today, Steve T. and I spotted many warblers along the south shore of Bennett Lake, which is in Roseville's Central Park. Besides the ever-popular Am. Redstarts (everywhere), there were several dozen each Magnolias, Yellow-Rumps and Chestnut-Sideds. Others seen in smaller numbers: Black and White,Common Yellowthroat, Yellow, Wilson's, Nashville, Tennessee. Single birds only: N. Waterthrush, N. Parula, Bay-Breasted, Blackpoll, Blackburnian. The birds were actively feeding and we could have easily missed others.
The majority of the birds were seen along the paved trail between the Lexington Ave. parking lot and the foot bridge on the southeast corner of the lake, although there were small groups near the band shell and the waterfall. Central Park is just off Lexington Ave. south of county Road C.
