Lake Elmo Regional Park is a very productive park to be in Lake Elmo, Minnesota! Part of it is Prairie, some is Deciduous Woodland, and some is wetlands! I love this park because it is part of the flyway for spring migrants, it is very good for short and tallgrass birds, and the lake is loaded with ducks, loons, and grebes in the spring and fall!

I saw this type of Warbler at Maplewood Nature Center in Maplewood, MN (near North St. Paul), that was most likely a Immature Palm Warbler! It was in a mixed feeding flock with Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Yellow-rumped Warblers, and Black-capped Chickadees! If you think you know what it is, type in the comments below what you think!
