The Detroit Lakes Festival of Birds continued north on the Pine to Prairie International Birding Trail to Winnipeg today. A coachload of birders made a stop at Fort Whyte Alive, a 600 acre nature centre on the edge of Winnipeg. The group had good looks at warblers, including Cape May, Tennessee, Palm and Yellow. Red-breasted mergansers were seen on the lake and Eastern and Western Kingbirds were in such close view they were easily compared. A stop at nearby Assiniboine Park produced Magnoilia, Bay-breasted and Palm Warblers as well as Redstart, Swainson's Thrush and Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Minnesota's first state birding trail, the Pine to Prairie, was extended into Manitoba in 2009 in a partnership between MN and MB. Kelly Blackledge and Cleone Stewart
