Warbler numbers have continued to be great across Carver County the past two weeks. I have been out 12 of the 14 days spending most of my time at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and Rapids Lake MVNWR. I have spent some time at Chaska Lake MVNWR and a little at Carver Park Reserve. Bird numbers have been mediocre at Carver Park compared to the other areas, so I haven't spent that much time there. I won't list specific counts for any days except today but will list some details for the first two weeks. In addition to the many warbler I have counted, there have been many that went unidentified. Some other migrants I saw the first two weeks of September were Blue-headed, Philadelphia Vireo, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Gray-cheeked, Swainson's Thrush, Lincoln's, White-throated Sparrow, and Purple Finch. While I have still been unable to find 20 warbler species on a single calendar day in the fall, I did see 20 warbler species in a 24 hour period September 12-13.
