[mou] Northern Waterthrush in Minneapolis

[Sally Cagle]

Yesterday, a Spotted Sandpiper was probing the sand; today a Northern  
Waterthrush was checking out puddles on the path above the sandbar.

We also saw the first Rose-breasted Grosbeck, Northern Oriole, Gray  
Catbird, and Gray-cheeked Thrush of the year  this week.  They were  
along the path that leads to the bridge to Boom Island.  Palm,  
Nashville, Black-and-white, and Yellow-rumped Warblers were also  
present.

Happy birding!
