I went down to Le Sueur County last night (5/15) out of curiousity because I
don't seem to hear many reports from this county and wanted to see what was
migrating through. Most of my birding was in the vacinity to the near east and
south of the city of Le Sueur. I was only out for a little over
Hi all,
I spent yesterday and this morning birding the southwestern corner of
the state. On Sunday I visited a number of sites in Jackson and Nobles
counties, and this morning I spent about five hours at Blue Mounds State
Park in Rock County. I was not disappointed, with big waves of migrant
3 White-faced Ibis, and a nesting pair of Trumpeter Swan were observed
this evening at Black Rush Lake, Lyon County.
Also, I heard a sound I am unfamiliar with. It was a repeated Whrrirrr
note with a slight hint of an owl quality. This was heard from thick in the
marsh, two individuals were heard
This is new to me, but may be commonplace to others. I have a Red-bellied
WPecker coming regular to my Oriole feeder and getting his fill of oranges and
grape jelly... is this a common event?

Thanks Cyndi for your work!
I checked these two links and did a Google Image search of "springtail" and
that's a very good match with what I saw! And the size (1/16"-1/8") is also a
match.
(The other link was not; they were not larvae.)
These tiny insects reminded me of an oblong version of th

It was very cold and I forgot my gloves. Between 6am and 8am there was
fairly good warbler activity.
I finally picked up Magnolia. I also got a very nice up close and personal
look at Eastern Kingbird.

Just got back from a few hours at Crosby Park in St PAul. The trail is pretty
wet and the trees have definitely leafed out in the past 3 days but there were
still birds to be seen. Warblers were staying higher up toward the canopy
making for more difficult views but still had 12 species on a
15 species seen during lunch at the kitchen table. Indigo Bunting,
Red-breasted Nuthatch, Baltimore Oriole, Rose-breasted Grosbeak and
Magnolia Warbler were highlights.

Here is some information I received from an entomologist friend about what the
warblers might be eating:

Yesterday evening at about 8:00 I saw what I'm pretty sure must have been a

I was walking the pedestrian path and a mid-sized overall light gray bird flew

On Sunday my neighbor's grand daughter came over and presented me with a
handful of morels from their yard and the park. Hu god! I checked

Backyard surprises continue every day. Yesterday it was a Tennessee
Warbler competing with the orioles and catbirds for the grape jelly.
This morning it was TWO Red-breasted Nuthatches, one on the bay window
feeder, the other on a nearby peanut feeder.

I spoke with the homeowner this morning who has been seeing the W. tanager. He
said that from 6-7am he sat on the patio (as he does every morning) watching
the birds and drinking his coffee. He DID NOT see either tanager, nor the
orchard oriole that was present Saturday and Sunday. He did see
