Today at Audubon Trails in Rolla was a great day for birding. A bonanza of Sedge Wrens and Marsh Wrens. The Sedge Wrens were concentrated in the prairie area, while the Marsh Wrens were in the prairie and also scattered around in shrubby areas.
I reported 10 Sedge Wrens on eBird, but there were probably easily twice that many. I have seen many there in years past for a few days during fall migration.
There were also Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Catbirds, Tanagers, a few warblers, several flycatchers, a few hawks overhead, and migrating monarch butterflies.
A great day to be out!
