Ever since I began spending a significant amount of time birding about 5 years ago, I have been curious about the differences in spring and fall migration. Here are the percentage of warbler species I have seen from 2008-2010 during the spring and fall seasons excluding Yellow, Redstart, and Yellowthroat. These numbers are mainly from Carver County but also include some observations made in the Eden Prairie area.
