[mou] Carver Park Reserve and Chaska Lake

[John Cyrus]

Activity has certainly picked up as of late.  Highlight of the morning at 
Carver Park was a likely Merlin that flew right above me.     Also seen 
Yellow-rumped Warbler(30+), Palm Warbler(10), Yellow Warbler(1), Tennessee 
Warbler(2), Black and White Warbler(1),  both Kinglets, Blue-gray 
Gnatcatcher, Brown Thrasher, and 7 sparrow species.  Strangely there were 
still a couple of Juncos around.  I would have thought they would be gone by 
now.

Chaska Lake was relatively quiet.  It was the first time I could get there 
this year because of flooding.    Just the usuals in the lake: Coot, 
Blue-winged Teal, Northern Shoveler, Egret, and Heron.    The surrounding 
area was quiet. I flushed a Kingfisher, a couple of House Wrens(was hoping 
for the Marsh), and an American Kestrel.  Two Broad-winged Hawks were 
circling low over the lake.
