[Mnbird] more warbler variety in the central metro area (Ramsey/Dakota)

[linda whyte]

A morning walk around Sucker Lake (Ramsey C) and an afternoon foray on the
river trail west of Sibley House (Dakota C) featured some newer arrivals
among the earlier warblers.
Most notable was an especially vocal Connecticut Warbler on the east bank
of the canal that flows between Sucker and Vadnais Lakes. Black-throated
Green and Chestnut-sided Warblers were also in voice, along with Yellow and
Common Yellowthroat. On the east side of Sucker, there was a brief, early
flurry of activity that included Black-and-White, Palm, American Redstart,
and possibly the sound of Mourning and N. Parula.
Adjacent to the Minnesota River trail there is a considerable flooded area
on the edge of Gun Club Lake, where Blackpolls and a Prothonotary Warbler
offered excellent looks. A Yellow-throated Vireo was calling, near the
trail entrance by the railroad underpass, though it was high out of view.
Between warmer temperatures and rains increasing the insect hatch, we
should be seeing more newcomers in the urban patches in the next few days.
