[mou] Black-throated Blue Warblers: Cook County

On Friday, I had 5-6 singing atop Oberg Mountain in Cook County. Of interest one had the unusual song. These numbers would be expected at this time of year. More Black-throated Blue Warblers singing that Black-throated Green Warblers. I thought I would report on Lake County numbers to report

Just before it poured I walked the back of Tettegouche Park. Five singing at and north and south of the trail junction, about 1/2-1 mile in as you enter from the back of the park. Good numbers for this early in the season. Did not try for the Painted Bunting or any of the other really good b

Jim Lind and I walked in the back of Tettegouche Park yesterday in Lake County and heard/saw 5 Black-throated Blue Warblers. From my several visits this year nearly every time one is singing at the first junction from the back, about a 20' walk up the hill. Others are throughout the park. P

For anyone proceeding up the north shore today. I called a friend at the park this morning after Jim Lind's summary last night for the Duluth report. I was told the Northern Hawk-owl was in the Visitors' Center Parking Lot, on the lake side. At 8:45 the person reporting the owl was still plow

Hi I am going to northernmost Queensland and possibly New Guinea in February. I have been north or Cairns once, and I want to go further north. I have looked at some web-sites, but I would appreciate any first-hand experience. Thanks Mike Michael Steffes 3098 East Castle Danger Road Two

[mou] Black-throated Blues along Superior Hiking Trail

I heard 10 BTBs saturday, May 17 on the western slope and top of Moose Mtn in Cook County. This site and Tettegouche Park are clearly the places with the largest numbers of this warbler. In both places one must hike to find the birds; I had a six mile round-trip on saturday, starting at the Ob

[mou] Black-throated Blue Warblers

Today on the west slope and top of Moose Mountain, at Lutsen in Cook County, I heard 8 Black-throated Blue Warblers, plus good numbers of other birds. This is about the number expected at this site at this time. In 2003 I first heard them a week earlier; last year a week later. On the same wa

June 5, I heard them for the first time this season, in Tettegouche park, Lake County. Missed them the day before at Oberg, Cook County. At Tettegouche all on the north-south trail near the back; i.e., up to the top from Lax Lake Road entrance to the park; you and those renting the cabins nee

Today at Oberg Mountain (which is not) in Cook County, I heard and saw at least one Black-throated Blue Warbler, essentially at and 70-100m clockwise from the junction of the access trail with the circumference trail on the top. The singing covered a large area, thus the speculation about more

[mou-net] Black-throated Blue Warblers

These warblers are quite frequently heard (and seen) in the appropriate habitat: well described in Kim Eckert's book. Over the weekend, had 2 singing in Tettegouche Park (Friday, May 22), from the back off Lax Lake Road, Lake County. Also, 3 on Oberg Mountain, Cook County (Saturday, May 23).
