[mou] Bell's vireo-Lake Nokomis, Mpls

[Diana Doyle]

This morning at 7:45 I heard and saw a Bell's vireo at Lake Nokomis,  
Mpls.

The bird was singing constantly from the willows and cottonwoods at  
the southwest side of the Lake Nokomis lagoon (west of Cedar Ave.  
bridge). Taking the path around the lagoon, it was in the area behind  
the very large cottonwood stump just along the path. It sang  
constantly for nearly half an hour.

I remember someone posting a Bell's vireo in the same location last  
year or the year before. Thanks to whoever posted that original  
sighting.

I also saw a common loon on L. Nokomis, surprising for June, and a  
green heron seems to hang out at the storm grate in the reeds just  
north of the Bell's vireo area, on the left side of the path heading  
north.
