Yard is dripping with migrants: 8 species of warblers, new ones include Yellow, Redstart, Orange Crown, Nashville, No. Waterthrush Chimney Swifts Lots of Kinglets singing Towhee
Canada Geese came into the yard to show off their 4 new goslings. Yesterday I saw the first goslings in the industrial area of Minneapolis east of Highway 280 Sandhill Crane - soaring high overhead. Neighbor has been seeing it for days. Coopers Hawk seen twice. Probably nesting nearby again. It was interesting that bird activity did not slow with him nearby. He is probably full up on migrants. Northern Mockingbird recorded and photographed nearby (Thomas Lake and along Wilderness Run by Pilot Knob) by neighbor a couple of days ago. Frogs: Chorus frogs still singing. Gray treefrogs short calls for several days now. First american toads heard yesterday. Violets are blooming in the yard. Tasty treats. I recommend adding them to your salad.
