It was another great morning at Carver Park Reserve with a surge of flycatchers
to the area and the continuing high variety/number of warbler. I covered a
greater area than the past few days and even more than this past Saturday as
well. I covered areas accessed from the nature center, both rec areas, King
Observation Area, and the Lake Zumbra access(rarely go here). Any day now
these warbler numbers are going to plunge. Select counts are below.
