This morning, of note at a very birdy Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary in St. Paul, were a couple of Nelson's Sparrows. Was doubting the ID until seeing it (them? believe to be two separate individuals) pop up multiple times in the restored prairie areas fairly close to the parking lot. Additionally,a Connecticut Warbler foraging below (and in the lower reaches of) the first group of Cottonwoods from the parking lot.
Less exciting, but also present in large numbers (here and along the Bruce Vento trail to Swede Hollow park) were Juncos, White-Throated and Lincoln's Sparrows, Nashville Warblers, Orange-Crowned Warblers, and a handful of Palms and Tennessee as well. I don't believe I've ever seen as many Lincoln's, Nashvilles, and Orange-Crowned in one day as I did this morning.
