Normandale Lake in Bloomington right now, as viewed from my office window.

Personally a really exciting morning. Male, common yellowthroat warbler is
first in Mn. and male, Rose-breasted Grosbeak first in my backyard. In '08 I
saw this bird in Glenwood, Mn. These are my only two Mn. sightings. Yipee!
I'm so glad!
Good birding to all!

On Saturday I got down to Frontenac, Hok-si-lah and other locations in
Goodhue County. First of year birds included Eastern Kingbird and Lark
Sparrow on top of the hill in the park, and Nashville, Wilson's, and
Tennessee warblers. Highlights included a Sora rail hiding in a free

Between 9:45 and 10:15 this morning I observed a Northern Mockingbird in the
Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary in St. Paul. It was hanging around in the rows of
young oaks in the center of the sanctuary, sometimes feeding on the ground,
then it flew to the nearby cottonwoods on the east side of the
I found a Common Gallinule at 12:40PM Saturday at the same spot as the 5
White-faced Ibis a week or so ago. Take Bartlet Lake Road to the end where
construction barriers have been put up, as water is crossing the road. The
Gallinule was in a larger expanse of cattails on the left side of the

nice mix of Warblers, plus a few other species of interest. Here are some of
the species observed this morning: Horned Grebe Virginia

feels like Saturday.

A few days before the Festival of Birds there were pine, American redstart,
bay-breasted, chestnut-sided, palm and yellow-rumped warblers at Tamarac and
Wilson's phalaropes at the sewage ponds in Lake Park. There is as yet
little foliage on the trees so it should be easy viewing for the field
A nice group of warblers was foraging in willow flowers this afternoon
behind our home near Dorset. Flocks included Tennessee, orange-crowned,
and yellow (the 3 commonest species), but also yellow-rumped, magnolia,
black and white, Wilson's, and blackpoll. Palm and pine warblers have also
been
The N. Mocking bird was re-found at two locations in Bruce Vento Preserve
around 4:15 and again at around 5:00. It was first spotted at a distance,
foraging in one of the burn areas west of the big pond. The second time, it
was seen at the west end of the rows of young, planted trees, where it

Hennepin Co. in the same general location as recently posted. The bird was seen
about 12pm. or so today, again foraging on the ground a bit further east than
the broken down boardwalk, still near the main trail.

To answer Julian's question, while I watched the mockingbird, it was acting
normally like a mockingbird. No evidence of a problem, shaking the head, or
anything else.

At about 8:15 tonight, I stopped at the Princeton sewage ponds off of CR2 in
Sherburne County. I was pleasantly surprised to find a single Hudsonian

Plovers, lots of Yellowlegs (mostly Lesser), and quite a number of
The Great-tailed Grackle was still present in McLoed Cty. at the previously
posted location at 11:30 am on 5/13. The homeowner said it is singing less
frequently, but still active at the rear of his property.
