[mou] Olive-sided Flycatcher and Connecticut Warbler-Chaska Lake, Carver County

[John Cyrus]

I observed an Olive-sided Flycatcher this afternoon at Chaska Lake in almost 
the exact location I observed one during this past fall migration.  It was 
in an area of dead trees on the south side of the lake.  The Connecticut 
Warbler was in the woodlands along the trail as you're heading towards the 
lake from Chaska.  Also, a small group of 6 pelicans were at the lake. 
Besides that, there were a few warbler species, Catbirds, a swarm of 
Rose-breasted Grosbeaks,  an Oriole, Great-crested Flycatcher, and Indigo 
Buntings.

At Carver Park, I was able to find 14 warbler species this morning.  From 
Craig's list of the MRVAC walk yesterday, I did not see the Mourning Warbler 
or the Ovenbird.  Somebody else mentioned that they saw an Ovenbird there 
today.  Other than that, I saw nothing different than that listed on the 
MRVAC walk.
