17 warblers today, 16 on Blue Hill Trail.  Highlights were Cerulean and 
"Audubon's" Yellow-rumped.  Philadelphia Vireo present as well.

Good birding!

Between another birder & I, found 13 warblers on Blue Hill Trail, including 
Canada, Blackpoll, Wilson's and Black-throated Green.  Most activity was on the 
hill itself.

Red-headed Woodpeckers were romping about, numerous Soras were calling, and a 
probable YB Flycatcher was in the first trees.

A Dainty Sulphur was also near the trailhead.

Good to be back in Minnesota.

10 warblers on Blue Hill Trail, Sherburne Refuge this morning.

Migrants included Black-throated Green & Nashville - Cerulian still present - 
along with Mourning, Golden-winged, Blue-winged & other nesters.  At least one 
Brewster's present.  

Still missing Canada & Blackpoll this migration.

Good birding to all!

Still had 12 warbler species Saturday morning in Sherburne NWR.  Best area 
was Mahnomen Trail (even though I only walked the first third before 
checking out to watch the Badgers game).


The mix was surprising - Northern Waterthrushes and Golden-winged (think of 
these two as early departures) - with first Orange-crowned of season - yet 
no Yellow-rumpeds (they'll swamp here soon enough).


Good birding to all!

PS Regarding recordings, this was my first opportunity to see a mobbing 
track in action; understand they're commonly used for species surveys and 
other applications in Minnesota.  Very effective!  The use was intentionally 
limited.   Thanks for the input.
