Hi Jan, It's a later bird than usual, as in half the years they are gone from the southern half of the state by 21 October. Ovenbird is one of those warblers that sometimes stick around until quite late in the season. Some extreme dates we've had for this species:
12 Jan 2016 in Hennepin County 8 Jan 1994 in Olmsted County 1 Jan 2009 in Hennepin County (New Hope) 27 Dec 1018 in Hennepin County (Bloomington) 2 Dec 2009 in Hennepin County 28 Nov 2019 in Anoka County Paul Paul Budde pbu...@earthlink.net -----Original Message----- From: Minnesota Birds <MOU-NET@LISTS.UMN.EDU> On Behalf Of Jan Uden Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2022 12:06 PM To: MOU-NET@LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [mou-net] Ovenbird Eagan, MN Dakota County This morning I watched an ovenbird "walking" in the leaves in my yard. It seems like a late date to me. I found a copy of the Loon that said Oct. 10. What do you think? Also had one junco. Recently brown creeper and red-breasted nuthatch. Birdwatching makes me happy!!
