Chet Meyers writes: This morning I birded Cedar Lake in Minneapolis and found seven different species of migrating warbler: Tennessee, Magnolia, Chestnut-sided, Common Yellowthroat, Nashville, American Redstart, and a number of Canadas. After that drove south to Jirik sod farms and 180th marsh. 180th is all but dry, and there nothing....no thing on the sod farms. The road that runs perpendicular to highway 66 at the sod farms is closed and probably will remain so for a week as they do a major overhaul. No problem, since the sod farms got little of our recent rain and I could find no birds there. Time to focus on fall warblers until more shorebirds move down. If anyone gets out to New Germany please let us all know what things look like out there. Maybe they got some rain. Chet Meyers, Hennepin County
