With the southerly winds for much of this past week and besides scattered pockets of migrants, many areas of both Carver Park and the arboretum were much quieter during the week. With the recent frontal passage, the arboretum was once again active this morning. Though if you are not careful, you can easily miss the birds as they silently forage in and out view. There were also more flighty warblers than usual today that went unidentified.
