[mou] warblers in Cook Co.

[jotcat]

Some may have come in yesterday, but we finally had a reasonable wave of 
migrants this morning.  Seen between Schroeder and Tofte:

Marsh wren - doing its best to disappear in a very narrow stand of cattails 
in ditch along Highway 61
Empidonax flycatcher - not singing, appeared most like Alder
Red-eyed vireo - many singing, saw few.  Heard no Blue-headed, saw no 
Philadelphia vireos.
Nashville W.
Possible Tennessee W., heard but not sure of it.
Common Yellowthroat
Magnolia W. - at least 2, thought I heard more
Blackburnian W. - saw 2
Chestnut-sided W. - one singing about every 50 feet along one stretch of 
trail.
Only one brown thrush - a Hermit
Bluebirds - at least 8, most appeared to be last year's youngsters, in 
groups of 2 or 3.

Sparrows - White-throats paired up and beginning nesting, ditto for Song and 
Chipping.  Saw one Clay-colored.  Last saw White-crowned yesterday, had one 
Harris' Sp. on Wednesday, also Lincoln's.

Blue Jays that appeared in numbers last week seem to be pairing up and 
staying around.
