Since nothing about this has been posted on mou-net, I thought I’d pass on this eBird report which I just saw. The problems are that the bird was photographed yesterday so it may be gone today; an Albert Lea street name is stated and mapped, but there is no exact address; and the bird looks like it was at a private residence so there may be no access. (Of course, it goes without saying that birders should not enter private property without permission from the residents or the observer.)

Photo included. For the record, I live in British Columbia and am visiting friends in SE Minnesota, so I am very familiar with this Western Warbler. It has been suggested that all the western coniferous forest fires might have driven this bird eastward..." ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
