The MRVAC Hok-si-lah (in Goodhue County) birding trip on Saturday attracted over 20 participants for an awesome day with warblers dripping from the trees and all kinds of surprises. Best birds included a surprise Carolina Wren right by the parking lot, Great Horned Owlets, a Solitary Sandpiper, a Red-head Woodpecker, and 20 species of warblers. We found some 65 species and added 9 more around Frontenac. I was logging a Big Day Birdathon and recorded 101 species for the day with 13 more species at 180th Street and several more in transit.
The weather was just a touch on the cool side, but not windy. The leaves were just coming out and flowers included violets, the last of bloodroot, dutchman's britches, and the anemonies.
