[mou] Park Point / Duluth MN

[Michael Hendrickson]

Park Point had a slight fog and a little mist which made for a lot of migrant warblers grounded feeding on all the trees and bushes along the point.  I saw 19 species of warblers and if I include the Ovenbird that was in my garage I saw 20 species for the day.
   
  Here is a summary of the warblers seen between the bus turn around at 41st St to the playground area.

  Orange-crowned Warbler:  1
  Nashville Warbler: 15

    I have never seen a fall migration with so many warblers each day I go out birding.
