Hi all,

I and several other birders were at Marsh Lake Park behind the 
Bloomington Ice Gardens this morning.  As far as I know, no one saw a 
Cattle Egret.  The place was full of birds, though, with some highlights 
including calling American Bittern, Philadelphia Vireo, 13 warblers 
including Wilson's and Parula, Sedge Wren, and several Lincoln's Sparrows.

I also stopped by the Cliff Fen Park access to the Black Dog unit of 
Minnesota Valley NWR.  Biggest surprise was an early Bell's Vireo, 
actively singing and apparently on territory.  Plenty of migrants there, 
too, including a nice flock of White-throated, White-crowned, and 
Harris's Sparrows.

Good birding,

Matt Dufort
