Molly and Minnesota birders... >From my perspective here in Wisconsin, it seems Kentuckys have been turning up in many more places than last year (though my sample size, 2 yrs, is small). However, I believe someone reported one from Door Co, or at least that far north, so it may be somewhat of an invasion going on. Document what you got! Most warblers that I know of don't respond to heterospecific playback of song, so your result is decent corroborating evidence.
Keep an ear out, birders of MN!
