Louisville Swamp NWR (south of Shakopee west of highway 169) on Friday, =
May
26. Encountered 53 species, but not much evidence of migration in =
progress.
Mosquito season, however, was well underway but hasn't reached the =
"can't
breathe without a head net" stage. Went from the parking area down the =
long
straight road along the property line until it reaches the water, which
still blocks the trail. Kingbirds, catbirds and rose-breasted grosbeaks
provided delights down this path. Prothonotary, yellow, yellowthroat
warblers, and house wrens were abundant - especially near the water.
Continued to the left on the Mazomani trail into the savanah oak section =
-
many indigo buntings and baltimore orioles. Special treats: eastern =
towhee,
red-headed woodpecker and a (heard-only) black-billed cuckoo. In the =
open
field and shrub areas, I was delighted to see field sparrows and several
(nesting?) blue-winged warblers. Between the weekend rain and working =
too
much, I missed most of the spring migration, but this was a May day to
remember.
