Hi Sunday May 18, 2003 Spotted Towhee seen between trail markers #2 and #3. The bird was calling which drew my attention because it was different from the Eastern Towhees that were calling and singing. He hopped out in the open for a 3 second look then moved back into the underbrush and called a

I agree that migration seems slow. Last Saturday I had 62 species but only 4 warblers (around the cities). I found it interesting, though, in central MN (Cass County), I had 10 warblers in good numbers, with especially high numbers of Blackburnian Warblers and Ovenbirds. I've never seen so many

I share Steve's impressions of the spring migration of woodland species. I've birded just about every day in one of the parks or nature areas along the Minnesota or Mississippi River in the Twin Cities. Yellow-rumped Warbler migration seemed normal and perhaps Palms were about normal too, but oth

Had a great time birding the Hawk Ridge Birdathon. Birding in Sax-Zim was productive, more so than in Duluth, which was fogged in much of the day. Many birds found by participants were represended by sightings of a single indivual. Our personal highlights included: Cape May Warbler: many call
