Hey birders! Earlier today I was sitting in my house reading a book and enjoying the many spring migrants around the house (3 flycatchers, tanager, oriole, bunting, and several warblers) when I heard the distinct ascending buzzy call of a Prairie Warbler. I quickly threw on some shoes and went out in the rain and sure enough! The bird was foraging in a willow and rather hidden initially, but then flew to a Black Walnut which has not leafed out yet entirely. Beautiful bird! After watching it for a minute, one of my nesting Cooper's Hawks passed through and suddenly everything was quiet and the Prairie Warbler had disappeared. If it is relocated, I will post.
Happy birding! Chad Heins Mankato, MN ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
