John You are amazing! Thanks for sharing such scientific data! It helps us average birders to ID birds based on your numbers-probability during each season
I noticed no Hooded Warblers in your list. Do Hooded only breed at Murphy-Hanrehan? I heard one singing there last spring. No sightings tho. Re: Red Breasted Nuthatches, I was surprised by your low numbers because I had several feeding at my feeder in South Minneapolis last winter. I understood there was an irruption last winter.
