Although I'm sure others are experiencing phenomenal warbler activity in southern Minnesota right now, this morning easily ranks among the best warbler fallouts I've ever experienced in the state. Liz Harper and I found 23 species at Locke Park in southern Anoka County, but perhaps more impressive were the abundances of each with double digits of Magnolia, Bay-breasted, Blackburnian, Chestnut-sided, Blackpoll, Black-throated Green, and Canada (and well over 100 Tennessee). The storms that rolled through the cities in the early morning hours two nights ago appear to have grounded an abundance of warblers in the metro area, and given the forecast for the weekend and early next week (cooler temps and north winds) it seems likely they'll stay put for a few days.
