I searched for warblers this weekend in Winona county and found a few: Yellow, Yellow-rumped, Palm, Northern Waterthrush, Common Yellowthroat, Orange-crowned, and Nashville. I suspect a few more will show up this next week, as sparrows (Lincoln's, White-crowned, White-throated, Savannah, Vesper, and Swamp) and waterfowl (Horned Grebe, Red-necked Grebe, ducks and mergansers) remain in good numbers and diversity. FOY Baltimore Oriole, Gray Catbird, Brown Thrasher, and Veery are at McNally Landing and a very cooperative Gray-cheeked Thrush that allowed me to sit and photograph it for 10 minutes yesterday afternoon and hoped down the trail within 6 feet of me today!
