[mou] Lake Vadnais, Ramsey County

[Gail Wieberdink]

We drove through Vadnais just now and saw 8 different warblers.  I was
surprised at the number of palm warblers still around.  Saw several FOY
blackpolls, but the highlights were a magnolia warbler and a blackburnian --
had good looks at both.  We also saw a blue-headed vireo, another FOY.  A
pair of loons swam very close along the shore and were calling back and
forth.  I made a video which picked up the sound.  Haven't looked at it yet
but if it turns out, I'll post it in the video gallery.

Warblers seen:
black and white
palm (many)
yellow rump (many)
Nashville
blackpoll (FOY)

blackburnian (FOY)

Other birds seen:
eastern kingbird (3)

great-blue herons (3)
plus all the other usual suspects
No sign of the white domestic goose.

All these within the space of about 45 minutes.
