[mou-net] Hooded warbler, Lebanon hills

[Kyle TePoel]

Had a nice warbler wave in Lebanon Hills regional park (Eagan). West of
pilot knob road, it was just 5 warbler species, but three of them were
Canada, mourning, and (female) hooded. I know hooded warblers used to be
seen with some regularity on the east portion of the park, but the last
time I saw one here was about 8 or 9 years ago. For what it's worth, this
one seemed to be moving on, but if interested it was in a brushy area
downhill from where the hiking trail splits from the horse trail, and near
where they cross paths again; brushy patch on the right, grassy field on
the left. Blue wingeds are here too, on territory.
