We took Jim Williams' advice and went to Elm Creek Park Reserve to look for migrants on Friday morning. Most were found in small flocks foraging in sunny edge habitat, where the vireos were feeding on nannyberries and graybark dogwood berries. We started from the Nature's Crossing neighborhood spur trail and went SW. The highlights: Red-shouldered Hawk - 1 immature, very close Green Heron - at least 5 at the marsh along abandoned section of 109th Ave. Red-breasted Nuthatch - 4 Blue-headed Vireo - 1 Red-eyed Vireo - numerous, in small groups Nashville Warbler - several Tennessee Warbler - 1 American Redstart - several Bay-breasted Warbler - 1 Common Yellowthroat - 4-5 Golden-winged Warbler - 1 Wilson's Warbler - 2 Black & White Warbler - 1 Ron & Maureen Refsnider Coon Rapids ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html During the pandemic, the MOU encourages you to stay safe, practice social distancing, and continue to bird responsibly. ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html During the pandemic, the MOU encourages you to stay safe, practice social distancing, and continue to bird responsibly.
