Good variety(20 species) and numbers of warblers were pretty much everywhere I stopped at Carver Park. A short stop at Rapids Lake(just visitors center and 1/2 mile loop trail) turned up 11 warbler species with one of those not seen at Carver Park. Yesterday at King Blind(Carver Park) there was an additional Chestnut-sided Warbler, Pine Warbler, and Northern Waterthrush that were not at that location today. Today was the best spring day I have had since May 2008 and the best spring day at Carver Park since May 2007.
