At 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, enjoyed outstanding views of male Hooded Warbler from as close as 15 feet while it fed in the open on the ground, chipping loudly at times. This was one of 17 warblers seen at or near T. S. Roberts on Sunday. About 8:15 a.m., in the parkland just west of King's Highway between 40th and 41st Streets, heard song of and briefly saw an Orchard Oriole, which then flew to the south along King's Highway. In the same location shortly before 2:00 p.m., saw a very late Fox Sparrow and a White-crowned sparrow feeding in the lilac hedges. About 1:30 p.m., saw several Horned Grebes, 1 Forster's Tern, plus 9 of the 17 warbler species (including Blackburnian, Wilson's, and Palm) feeding on or near the ground along the northern shore of Lake Harriet.
