[mou] Hooded Warbler, Winona County

[Dedrick Benz]

Jen Sobiech and I were birding Great River Bluffs State Park this evening 
and were ecstatic to find a Hooded Warbler at about 6:30 PM.

If you drive past the main office, you will notice a large field on your 
left (a traditional Henslow's Sparrow spot).  When this field ends, there is 
a parking lot on your left.  Park here, and continue walking the road.  You 
will pass pines on both sides.  20 yds. after the pines on the right was 
where the Hooded Warbler was giving a call note.  I heard a towhee call, and 
at first assumed the call note also belonged to the towhee, but pishing 
revealed an adult male Hooded Warbler!

Overall, things were pretty quiet.  We did not detect any Henslow's 
Sparrows.
