I spent over 5 hours and walked over 6 miles this morning at Rapids Lake MVNWR
covering the south loop, the entirety of the Rapids Lake Trail, the entire
Carver Creek Loop, and some hunting areas west of Rapids Lake. Warbler
species 20 came right at the 5 hour mark with a cooperative Golden-winged. If
I had just covered areas that I've been covering over the past week at Rapids
Lake, my Yellow-rumped Warbler count would have been lower than most of those
days. With the number of warbler I expected more vireo, but Blue-headed was
all I could turn up. Select count of the 90 species seen is below.
Least Flycatcher 5
Eastern Phoebe 1
Great Crested Flycatcher 1
Blue-headed Vireo 3
House Wren 15
Marsh Wren 1
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 4
