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!

Very effective! The use was intentionally limited. Thanks for the input. Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
