--0-500821878-1084473141=:23804 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii We returned to our Bemidji home from TX on Monday night. There had been a hatching of small insects over the weekend, and there were warblers everywhere! By a conservative estimate I think there were close to 500 Yellow-rumped Warblers in our yard and that of our neighbors! They are still present here and along all the county roads. My brother-in-law says he has as many as we do on the other side of the lake. Other warblers seen in our yard this week include Cape May, Palm, Pine, Nashville, Northern Parula, Yellow, Bay-breasted, and Black and White. Many Chipping Sparrows around also. We also have had a Red-bellied Woodpecker again, the first time in several years and today had 5 male and 2 female Rose-breasted Grosbeaks. When we first moved to the Bemidji area we never saw either of these 2 species. It has been very difficult to unpack and clean the house because I am always looking out the windows at another bird!!!
