On our Monday Morning Warbler Walk, we had 48 species on the Paul  
Bunyan Bike Trail along the south end of Lake Bemidji. I did some  
more birding later in the day (5pm to dusk at Lake Bemidji State  
Park) and added 15 more species for a total of 63. Lots of new  
activity around the lake! Below are highlights with First of the Year  
birds in bold.

Common Loon, 2 observed on nests
Red-necked Grebe, 4 pair on the same pond, two observed on nests
Double-creasted Cormorant
Osprey, 3 observed on nests
Sandhill Crane, a pair getting ready for bed in a marsh at dusk
Solitary Sandpiper
Chimney Swift, the downtown group is back! Watched about 60 spiral  
down into their roost for the night.
Eastern Wood-Pewee
Eastern Kingbird
Cliff Swallow
Barn Swallow
Sedge Wren
Brown Thrasher, took 20 min. to locate this bird after hearing it!  
Experts at disappearing into the underbrush, and I can't remember the  
last time I heard a bird sing in a whisper.
Ovenbird, Golden-winged, Yellow, and Palm Warbler, It's about time we  
got a little warbler action!
Vesper Sparrow
Harris's Sparrow
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Baltimore Oriole
