Kyle Te Poel's posting about a small group of fall migrant warblers
spurred me to post the adult female Golden-winged Warbler that we banded
Sunday morning (8/5/18) at Springbrook Nature Center.
Springbrook NC is in extreme southern Anoka County, on the north edge of
Fridley, near the Mississippi River. The Minnesota Breeding Bird Atlas
shows confirmed and probable nesting by GWWA only as far south as
central Sherburne County. This female had the remnants of a brood
patch, so she likely nested somewhere north of here and was migrating
through when she flew into one of our mist nets.
We also banded an American Redstart, a Yellow Warbler, a Common
Yellowthroat, and 2 "Traill's Flycatchers" (Willow or Alder). These all
nest in the vicinity, so they aren't necessarily migrating at this time,
although they could be doing just that.
