Robin,

A few spots I'd recommend from personal experience:

The T.S. Roberts Sanctuary on the north side of Lake Harriet during spring
migration.  The Warbler fallouts there are the best in the area.

Flying Cloud Airport - just south west of exit 11 from the beltway.  I had to
take a flight from there and spent just an hour but it was useful.  I found
Clay-colored Sparrows and an Upland Sandpiper.

During visits to St. John's University in St. Cloud I found the Collegeville
Game Refuge to be very birdy.  I found Bohemian Waxwings and a Townsend's
Solitaire north of St. Cloud along the Mississippi River County Park.

Good luck.
