Normally I don't post day to day observations to the list anymore, but I am making an exception with today's warbler numbers. After the recent frontal passage and great warbler numbers yesterday afternoon at Carver Park, I was hoping Rapids Lake MVNWR would be active this morning. It was. Numbers rivaled any of my best spring or fall days in the past, and I am a little surprised by some of the high numbers continuing to move through. Select counts for the morning at Rapids Lake are below. For the complete list you can check the MOU database or Ebird
