My boyfriend and I did some birding over the past two days. Here are some things of interest:
The Cerulean Warbler was still singing at the previously described location (southeast of trail marker 18) in Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve (south of Burnsville) as of today. We were unable to locate the nest, however. We heard and observed two male Hooded Warblers singing at Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve, also today. The first one was at the previously described location south of trail marker 10. The second individual was a couple hundred meters west of trail marker 2. A Blue-winged Warbler sang farther northwest along this trail. Some notes of Hennepin County birds: A Brown Creeper was singing away at Fort Snelling State Park (near Bloomington) today. A Wood Thrush was sitting on a nest at Crow-Hassan Park Reserve (near Rogers) yesterday. Multiple Blue-winged Warblers, Veeries, a Vesper Sparrow, and a Savanna Sparrow were singing at/near Elm Creek Park Reserve (Champlin) yesterday and the day before. We were unable to locate any Prothonotary Warblers at Fort Snelling or Elm Creek over the past three days. Thank you Dave Zumeta and Steve Broste for sharing your observations. Good birding!
