[mou-net] Carver County Louisiana Waterthrush and Henslow's Sparrow among many migrants

[John Cyrus]

I'll try to keep this message relatively short, and for the complete list of 
birds I saw today you can check Ebird or the MOU database.   I saw a pair of 
Louisiana Waterthrush feeding together within about 30 feet at the northwest 
edge of Rapids Lake(temporarily part of the Minnesota River).   The Henslow's 
Sparrow was on one of its normal territories in grassland west of Rapids Lake.  
  There were many other recent arrivals following 2 very favorable days for 
migration including Baird's Sandpiper, Pectoral Sandpiper, Lesser Yellowlegs(my 
2nd bird of the year), Least Flycatcher, House Wren, Sedge Wren, Lincoln's 
Sparrow, Black-and-white Warbler, Tennessee Warbler, Nashville Warbler, and 
Rose-breasted Grosbeak at Rapids Lake.   Orange-crowned and Palm Warbler were 
also present today, but they were present yesterday as well.  A Pine Warbler 
was present at Rapids Lake yesterday, but I did not find one today. Before 
yesterday the only warbler species I had seen this year was Yellow-rumped. 
Many more sparrow arrived to Rapids Lake this morning as well that were not 
there yesterday including my first large numbers of White-throated Sparrow for 
the spring.   After nearly 4 hours at Rapids Lake, I made a shorter stop at 
Carver Park Reserve.   It wasn't quite as active, but I did find Baird's 
Sandpiper, Lesser Yellowlegs, House Wren, Black-and-white Warbler, 
Orange-crowned Warbler, Palm Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler, and Lincoln's 
Sparrow.  There were Kinglets present this morning at both locations, but 
higher numbers were around last week.   Leaf-out is about 3 weeks behind the 
early pace of 2016 and 2017, so viewing this spring should be very good.

Re: [mou-net] Connecticut warbler Westwood Hills Hennepin County-correction

[Jonathan Beck]

Sorry for the email, it was likely a Nashville, not CT warbler. I got too 
excited with the yellow! Thanks Chris. My wife also agrees, it was the 
Nashville.

[Jonathan Beck]

We spotted one, possibly 2 Connecticut warblers at Westwood Hills in Hennepin 
County. They were along the east side of the lake on the Marsh Trail giving 
very good views at approximately 10:45. Also present were YRWA.
