I enjoyed good birding Friday at the arboretum, Saturday at Carver Park
Reserve, and today at Rapids Lake MVNWR with 18 warbler species over the three
days. Today had the highest warbler species total with 14. Canada Warbler
were especially numerous today with 10 beating my previous high count of 9 on
August 20 last year at the arboretum.
