Had planned to spend the day photographing flowers at the arboretum due to the cloudy forecast, but sun broke though so headed up to Sherburne for a couple of hours. Did the wildlife loop and the woodland's trail and the first short paved trail upon entering the loop were quite productive. I only count birds I actually get a decent photograph of, and I had good looks at yellow, Nashville, Tennessee, American Redstart, Yellow Rumped and a rather cooperative Magnolia Warbler. Also along the woodland trail near the entrance was a beautiful Scarlet Tanager. Interestingly outside of a Canada Goose there were hardly any waterfowl to be seen.
Hoping to get back up late on Wednesday and to bird Aitkin County's Rice Lake NWR on Friday. If anyone has birded Aitkin recently would love to hear any reports on warblers. Good birding to all, Fr.
