Hi All—
Erika and I took a late afternoon stroll in the East Unit of the Cannon
Valley Wilderness Area just south of Northfield, Rice Co. We saw 9 species
of warblers, but what was interesting is that many fed on the ground.
Ground feeders included restarts, Blackburnian and Black-throated Green
Saturday, May 11, 8:30 a.m., several of us relocated the singing
Yellow-throated Warbler by the Whitewater State Park nature store parking
lots, enjoying views from as close as 15 feet while the bird foraged along
branches and sang. It was on the picnic grounds side of the parking
lot toward the
Joined in the heavy cold wind by folks from the Brainerd Bird Club and a couple
of hardy young families with early elementary aged children, we managed to
sight 43 species on an adapted 2 mile saunter through the oak savannah and
restored prairie. Highlights, some new to the composite
We will have another bird walk at Westwood Hills Nature Center Tuesday May 14th
around 8am! The Nature center is located in St Louis Park on West Franklin and
Texas! Hope to have another great turnout and all level of birders are welcome!

I had the same experience as Dan Tallman yesterday but at Black Dog Park in
Burnsville (near power plant). I had 16 species of warblers and at least 11
species feeding on the ground out of the wind. I went back with my camera and
was able to photograph 8 species plus Rose-breasted Grosbeak,

The mockingbird has not been around for a couple days, if it shows

I spent about an hour less than yesterday at Rapids Lake MVNWR this morning
covering slightly less area(little less in hunting areas, quieter). It was
quite the day for thrush including a Gray-cheeked that curiously came within 10
feet of me on the trail as I stood motionless. Similar thing
While cold winds kept the number of species down, did have 12 warbler 12
sparrow species in Sherburne Refuge this morning. Best area was the conifer
woods on Blue Hill Trail. Most common warbler was Palm; best was probably Cape

A golden-winged warbler was spotted this morning in the grass close to the
lake. It was just off W. Nokomis Pkwy, east of the swimming beach near
where there is a small pedestrian bridge over an inlet. Other warblers
were in that area as well, but this was the most unusual one and allowed us
a
I refound the warbler across the street and on the right side of the lower path
-the steep path did not yield the yellow throated warbler. Took photos as the
bird was within 10 feet. At 2:15 pm. Tom and Bill George

sewage lagoons 2 sections north of highway 2 and 1 section west of of
highway 220. The bird was traveling with a MARBLED GODWIT and flew over

Stephanie and I birded at the General Mills North 40 today in Golden
Valley. We had a great time and saw 45 species. New ones included
Golden-winged Warbler, Blue-winged Warbler, Blue-headed Vireo, Bell's
Vireo, Swainson's Thrush, Veery, and Baltimore Oriole. We had nine total
Warbler species.
Relocated:
White-faced Ibis (7) continue at the Parnell Impoundment. Polk County 17 two
miles East of US-75. They are moving around a bit and may require a little
searching.
LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE (2) continue on Polk County 68 just west of Polk County 23
but are unreliable

To alert, I believe, with only a fleeting look at the intersection of Jamaica
Ave (CR9) and CR 12 on the NE corner along the bike path, a Northern
Mockingbird sprang up into a thicket from the path. I saw wing patches and
Mockingbird profile as I was turning right toward Mahtomedi. Sorry, I
I was without a vehicle (and without my trusted birding partner / wife) this
weekend so I only birded areas I could reach easily on foot from my house near
Bush Lake. Today I hit Bush Lake, Hyland Lake, Richardson Nature Center, and
points in-between, and rang up 71 species (It should have been
Sunday morning I birded around Salt Lake which is on the South Dakota border in
western LQP County.
All regular species of ducks still present other than Golden Eye.

of the lake)

We had a couple yellow-rumped warblers yesterday but today we had MANY on
the grasses lakeside of our house and Lodge. We had a few Palm warblers also in
the mix. I took some photos through the windows of these busy birds.

Just curious if anyone has birded Hok-Si-La recently. As perhaps the premiere
warbler spot I was surprised to see no postings from the park. Hoping to go
there Thursday afternoon, but if anyone has any reports to share would love to
hear them.
Birded Springbrook Nature Center tonight and it
The Hooded Warbler found yesterday in Grand Forks by me is on the North Dakota
side, Grand Forks County, not in MN.
Vanessa Lane and I saw 3 of the Great Egrets in the 210 ditch today where they
had been last week, but did not see the Snowy Egret, and were not aware of the
roost site at the

At 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, enjoyed outstanding views of male Hooded Warbler
from as close as 15 feet while it fed in the open on the ground, chipping
loudly at times. This was one of 17 warblers seen at or near T. S. Roberts
on Sunday. About 8:15 a.m., in the parkland just west of King's Highway
St. Paul Audubon Warbler Weekend at Villa Maria, Frontenac, MN (Goodhue
County) on May 10-12 was an exciting combination of fallout warblers,
thrushes, and other passerines, and late holdover species such as Horned
Grebe, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Dark-eyed Junco, and American Tree
Sparrow.
I did relocate the Great-tailed Grackle at the previously reported location in
McLoed County today (5/12). As previously reported the homeowners, Terry and
Joyce, are very nice and should be contacted first 320-587-5873 because the
bird is far behind their house and is not likely seen without
