This morning at Springbrook Nature Center in Fridley (Anoka County), we had an abbreviated bird banding session due to the number of birds being netted/trapped and the cool, rainy weather. The total was 119 birds and 28 species, including 11 warbler species (Canada, Tennessee, Nashville, Chestnut-sided, Golden-winged, Magnolia, Black and White, Common Yellowthroat, American Redstart, Ovenbird, and Northern Waterthrush). Also worth mentioning: a Blue-headed Vireo and a Yellow-throated Vireo, plus a couple of Brown Thrashers and Common Grackles. Birds are definitely on the move!
