Returned a few days ago from a fishing trip on Severn Lake, about 52 =
degrees north. Severn is a bit more than 300 miles north of =
International falls.=20
I was impressed by the lack of birds! No warblers, a couple of white =
throats, a robin, hermit thrush and black backed woodpeckers. It was =
dry, no mosquitoes, and the camp is near an old burn (1997).
Water birds were scarce as well. Three or four herring gulls, some =
goldeneye broods, two caspian terns were about it.=20
We recall seeing Itasca park full of warblers in July. =20
Can anyone tell me if the lack of warblers is usual or unusual? Could =
they have all left because of the dry conditions?
An off-line answer would be fine.
