A Yellow-throated Warbler was located along the Carver Creek Loop at Rapids Lake MVNWR near the northern boundary of the unit about 50 yards west of the walking bridge to the city of Carver. I first heard him sing one time and thought, nah couldn't be(recently got back from a trip to east Tennessee to get a head start on spring/southern birds). After a short time he came into view right along the trail in a younger tree(old Cottonwoods in the area), He hopped in and out of view for 10 minutes at one point coming within 20 feet. Other highlights from the morning are below. I birded areas south of Carver Rapids(south of lake), Carver Creek Loop, and some off trail.
