Sharon, I was out at Prairie Oaks on Tuesday 10/11, and at the bridge over
the stream just past the South Coneflower Trail I saw a mixed feeding flock
that included multiple Yellow-Rumped Warblers (making their trademark
'check' sounds) and a couple of other difficult-to-identify warbler types as
well.  I believe one of them was an immature Blackburnian.  These warblers
were looking for insects on tree trunks as well as in the leaf canopy, and
they were looking closely around the thorns sticking out of the honeylocust
trees in the area.  Sort of late in the season, but there were apparently
enough bugs to go around.  I took some pictures that weren't of the greatest
quality, available upon request.  I hope this helps!
