This morning my son Tim (10) and I went to Roberts Bird Sanctuary in south Minneapolis. We missed the group tour by 10-15 minutes, so we birded by ourselves for 2+ hours. LOTS OF WARBLERS! We didn’t see a blackburnian, but we heard reports that blackburnian warblers were present. Nonetheless, lots of good sightings. See below for a full species report
