Had a great day of birding, with up to 93 species (a few observations too fleeting to say for sure but mid-80s species at minimum). This total is surprisingly high considering I found no owls, gulls, plus somehow I missed several abundant birds (no House Sparrows, House Finches, Starlings, or even Pigeons!), and the only shorebird of any kind I came across was a Killdeer.
The large majority of species were found at Sucker Lake. Highlights there included 18 Warbler species (including a Connecticut), and a Philadelphia Vireo. Others of note included a pair of Scaup on Grass Lake (the only lingering migrant waterfowl I saw today), Caspian Terns (Grass Lake and White Bear Lake), Forster's Tern (White Bear Lake), and a few nice yard birds this evening (Wood Thrush, Sandhill Crane, Bank Swallow).
