We are so lucky to be living in a State with 4 distinct seasons, and the opportunity to enjoy the varied variety of birds as one season merges into the next. This morning at Wood Lake Nature Center in Richfield, Hennepin County it was cool in the low 40's, and a beautiful sunny, calm, brisk morning, and I enjoyed the pleasure of seeing and hearing 4 different Wrens. There were several Winter Wrens, and a single Marsh, House, and Carolina Wren who continues to still be sporadically singing and seen.
There were numerous Orange-crowned, Palm, and Yellow-rumped Warblers, and dwindling numbers of Nashville, Tennessee, and Common Yellowthroats. Sparrows seen were a nice mix of White-crowned, Harris's, Swamp, Lincoln's, Song, White-throated, Chipping, Clay-colored, Dark-eyed Junco, and the cheery whistles of the Fox Sparrows all over the park. Both Kinglets, and the quiet presence of the Hermit Thrush's along the trails, and a "10" point Buck who stuck his head up from the marsh when I pished at a sparrow. All in all it was a great morning to be out in the park walking still enjoying the music of many singing birds!
