On a short walk through Minnehaha Park in southeast Minneapolis today, I
came across a nice little group of migrants, including some lingering
species I wasn't expecting to see.  In addition to the numerous
Yellow-rumped Warblers, Fox and White-throated Sparrows, kinglets, creepers,
robins, and waxwings, were the following:

25 Orange-crowned Warblers - a really nice concentration to find this late
in the fall
1 Nashville Warbler hanging out with the Orange-crowns
1 Rose-breasted Grosbeak - a young male with a bit of pink on the breast and
nice pink underwings

Most of these birds were feeding in the weedy area along the power-line cut
in the off-leash dog area.

Good birding,
Matt Dufort
Minneapolis
