Both warblers spent most of their time feeding on the sidewalks and street, along with 3 or more Tennessees.

Best finds included a Least Bittern flushed from wet grass along the path that goes south from the boat landing parking lot on the north side of Hok-si-La Park (observed for 10 minutes from 40 feet away), plus male and female Prothonotary Warblers to the west of the same path. Two other Prothonotary Warblers singing elsewhere in Hok-si-la; also a late Bonaparte's Gull, Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, Philadelphia Vireo, 2 male Bay-breasted Warblers, 2 Mourning Warblers. Remarkable numbers (many dozens) of Am. Redstarts, Yellow, and Yellow-rumped Warblers; 8+ Canada Warblers, 10+ Wilson's Warblers. Orchard Oriole and 2 Palm Warblers at Frontenac State Park. -- Dave Zumeta ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 May 2014 02:47:21 +0000 From: Malcolm Gold <[email protected]> Subject: White-faced Irises (Rock County) DQpXaGlsZSBzY2FubmluZyB0aGUgSGlsbHMgV2F0ZXIgVHJlYXRtZW50IFBvbmRzIHRocmVlIFdo aXRlIGZhY2VkIEliaXNlcyB0b29rIGZsaWdodCBmcm9tIHRoZSBjYXR0YWlsIHN3YW1wIGltbWVk aWF0ZWx5IG5vcnRoIG9mIHRoZSBwb25kcy4gVGhlIGZsZXcgbm9ydGggb3ZlciB0aGUgdG93biBh bmQgZGlkIG5vdCByZXR1cm4gZHVyaW5nIHRoZSAxMCBtaW51dGVzIEkgd2FzIHRoZXJlLg0KDQpN YWxjb2xtIEdvbGQgKEthbnNhcyBDaXR5LCBmb3JtZXJseSBhbmQgY3VycmVudGx5IHZpc2l0aW5n IE1OKQ== ------------------------------ End of MOU-NET Digest - 20 May 2014 to 21 May 2014 (#2014-139) ************************************************************** ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
