prothonotary warbler at the archery unit of Spring Lake (Dakota Co.) 
Park --in a tree at the end of the hiking trail down to the peninsula on 
the river

 From Hwy 52, turn onto Co. 55 toward Hastings. Take Fahey Ave., heading 
east; this crosses Pine Bend Trail and leads directly into the parking 
lot for the archery unit. Go all the way to the end of the parking lot; 
across from the kiosk and on the right side of the lot, is a gate onto 
the main hiking trail. Follow this double-track road all the way down to 
the river. The bird perched in a tree to the right of the bench, before 
heading across the water to an island.

Also present, among others, on the archery trails: immature Cooper's 
hawk; great looks, even at its pale eyes, as it waited out the scolds 
from a warbling vireo.
