Today's conditions were ideal: no wind, no rain, no sun. Obviously, they were ideal migration conditions, too, since Wood Lake was covered with birds. 21 warbler species is the largest one-day total I have ever had there. Species list below:
Hooded Merganser Great Egret Canada Goose Mallard Wood Duck American Coot Sora Spotted Sandpiper Mourning Dove Chimney Swift Pileated Woodpecker Downy Woodpecker Hairy Woodpecker Red-bellied Woodpecker Barn Swallow Cliff Swallow Tree Swallow Blue Jay American Crow Black-capped Chickadee White-breasted Nuthatch House Wren Gray Catbird American Robin Swainson's Thrush Gray-cheeked Thrush Ruby-crowned Kinglet Blue-headed Vireo Black-and-White Warbler Golden-winged Warbler Tennessee Warbler Orange-crowned Warbler Nashville Warbler Northern Parula Yellow Warbler Magnolia Warbler Cape May Warbler Yellow-rumped Warbler Black-throated Green Warbler Blackburnian Warbler Chestnut-sided Warbler Bay-breasted Warbler Blackpoll Warbler Palm Warbler Ovenbird Northern Waterthrush Common Yellowthroat Wilson's Warbler American Redstart House Sparrow Red-winged Blackbird Baltimore Oriole Common Grackle Brown-headed Cowbird Scarlet Tanager Northern Cardinal Rose-breasted Grosbeak House Finch American Goldfinch Savannah Sparrow White-throated Sparrow Lincoln's Sparrow Swamp Sparrow Song Sparrow Best, Matt ______________________________________________ Matthew Bribitzer-Stull ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
