Hi All— Erika and I took a late afternoon stroll in the East Unit of the Cannon Valley Wilderness Area just south of Northfield, Rice Co. We saw 9 species of warblers, but what was interesting is that many fed on the ground. Ground feeders included restarts, Blackburnian and Black-throated Green warblers. We suspect this relatively unusual feeding stratum was due to the chilly temperatures (50s) and high winds (gusts up to 40 mph). Photos are on my blog: http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com
