I startled an American Woodcock this morning along the western shore of Rapids Lake. In addition to other migrants, I refound 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler. The normally reliable overwintering Swamp Sparrow was not cooperative. I last saw him on March 1. Also on March 1, I saw my FOY Song Sparrow along the shore of Rapids Lake and likely refound a Golden-crowned Kinglet. All waterfowl seen today were either flyovers or in the Minnesota River. Many ducks were just landing on the river when I was there.
