[mou] Fwd: eBird Report - Itasca State Park , 5/18/07

[Pat DeWenter]

    It was a beautiful day for birding!  The birds were in full song all morning.  I have never heard as many Northern Parulas singing as I did today!  Also many Chestnut-sided Warblers and Ovenbirds added to the chorus.  The highlights of today were seeing 2 Mourning Warblers and all the Evening Grosbeaks, which we haven't seen often in the past 10 years.
