John You are amazing! Thanks for sharing such scientific data! It helps us average birders to ID birds based on your numbers-probability during each season I noticed no Hooded Warblers in your list. Do Hooded only breed at Murphy-Hanrehan? I heard one singing there last spring. No

That’s kind of funny because several years ago my brother Bill George and I “chased” it at Whitewater. We hung out at the place you described. I was doubting Thomas because I had never chased a bird. We waited and waited and then I thought I heard its call. We played it’s song and shortly

I believe I saw a Varied Thrush this evening while I was headed south on Hennepin Avenue next to The Walker Sculpture Garden near the Armajani pedestrian bridge. It landed on a sign while I was stopped in traffic. It’s tail was wagging and appeared bluish. I saw the eye band and black band on
