[mou-net] Watowan-Cottonwood-Murray counties

[Kim Richard Eckert]

In addition to the Summer Tanager at Long Lake Park in Watonwan Co, which was 
reported on Friday to mou-net, the Minn Birding Weekends (MBW) group found a 
few other birds of note in these three counties this weekend, May 12-13-14. 

In all, we recorded 145 species, with 118 of these in Watonwan Co on May 12. 
Besides the tanager, we found a nesting pair of Red-necked Grebes on Case Lake, 
a cooperative and visible Least Bittern in the WMA on 360th St just W of CR 12, 
17 warbler species (incl a Cape May and multiple Golden-wingeds), and Orchard 
Oriole at Long Lake Co Park. Shorebirds were hard to find Watonwan Co: only 7 
species were found, and the only decent spot was a flooded field at 320th St 
and 830 Ave.

On May 12 we covered parts of Cottonwood and Murray counties but had few 
highlights, partly due to the warm temperatures, strong winds, and very dusty 
back roads. We saw fewer warblers that day (14 species), but did better with 
shorebirds: 14 species, mostly in Murray Co, where there was only one 
productive area, 2 mi E of Hwy 91 along the Lyon Co line (Am Golden-Plovers, 
Hudsonian Godwit, Short-billed Dowitchers, Dunlins, and White-rumped 
Sandpipers).  

Sunday morning’s birding was less eventful, although we relocated a Henslow’s 
Sparrow found by Brian Smith the day before in Brown Co at Wood Lake WMA (just 
W of CR 8, 1 mi N of the Watonwan Co line).

Got some nice photos as a cerulean warbler which made a brief stop at my
home in Mendota Heights this afternoon.

[mou-net] Carver County

[John Cyrus]

Another note from me today, as today was my first 100 species day at Rapids 
Lake(101 including my early morning Common Nighthawk greeting me again).   
Today's birds include 5 flycatcher species, 4 vireo species, all the expected 
thrush species except Bluebird(no Bluebird yesterday too), 23 warbler species, 
and 10 sparrow species.   Birds present today but not yesterday were American 
Bittern, Broad-winged Hawk, Pectoral Sandpiper, Solitary Sandpiper, Great 
Horned Owl, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Philadelphia Vireo, 
Veery, Wood Thrush, Mourning Warbler, Blackpoll Warbler, Black-throated Green 
Warbler, and Eastern Meadowlark.  There were no areas with large concentrations 
of migrants though.  Including summer residents there were high concentration 
areas.  For the 7 days of May 8-14, I have found 130 species.

[mou-net] Connecticut Warbler, Ramsey County

[Bob Dunlap]

This morning I found a singing Connecticut Warbler among 11 warbler species
at Reservoir Woods Park in Roseville. The bird sang briefly around 9:15 in
the patch of woods to the west of the reservoir just north of Roselawn
Cemetery.
