Hi Birders Yesterday was a great day and I hope many of you saw some of these birds
Yesterday morning under the expert guidance of Naturalist Gary Swanson we saw 58 species of birds at the Coon Rapids Dam on the Coon Rapids side. The highlights of that hike were a northern Parula , Baltimore Oriole,broad winged hawk, Redstarts, great egret, double crested cormorants brown thrasher, white crowned and white throated sparrows and a lincoln sparrow. Later that evening my friend Travis called me and asked me if I wanted to go to Veterans Memorial Park in Richfield as he heard that it was good for warblers. I readily agreed and from about six thirty to eight thirty last night we saw several species of warblers including yellow rumped, black and white, Yellow, redstart, chestnut sided, magnolia, black throated green, yellow rumped and palm . We also saw catbirds, wood ducks, baltimore orioles, we heard a sora and I saw what was for me a lifer the black crowned night heron.
