At 1030PM it was north of the E/W trail that goes toward the lake where
54th hits the boulevard at the west side of the lake, about at the
second bench on the lakeside N/S trail, about 200 feet north of the E/W
trial. This is about where the first tall trees are north of the trail,
past the willow thicket that is just north of the trail

The Bell's Vireo reported near Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis was present
on Saturday morning from 7:30-8:15 AM. The bird was singing actively
(except when the jets were roaring by directly overhead) and followed
exactly the same pattern described by Paul Budde yesterday (pasted
below). This guy seems to be on  territory and, as far as I could see,
it was another case of unrequited love.

**************************

Pasted from Paul Budde's message:

Still present today at 11 AM, in the previously described location.
>From 54th St and Lake Nokomis Parkway on the west side of Cedar Ave,
there is a side walking path towards the lake (going east).  The
northernmost point at which I heard the vireo was where this side path
meets the main path.  I followed it southward on this path with the lake
to the east and a marshy area to the west all the way to where the path
makes a sharp left turn and there is a small wooden bridge.  At this
point it was singing from some coniferous trees (with a small deciduous
tree growing in the middle of it).  This entire area is the extreme SW
corner of the lake, all of it on the west side of Cedar Ave.

Thanks to Don Wanschura for finding the bird and to Tony Hertzel for
passing along the information.
