I found four Yellow-rumped Warblers along the Cannon River at Miesville Ravine County Park this afternoon. I was able to see the thin warbler bills, yellow rump patches and other characteristics with binoculars to confirm identity of these out of season birds. They were found along the river where a close south facing slope offers a lot of protected habitat. The water remains open and these birds were seen at the waters edge. Other birds included a White-throated Sparrow. Two flocks of Eastern Bluebirds (total of 24), Robins, Flickers, Trumpeter Swans and many other regulars.
