This morning I did some birding at Kiwanis Park and parts of Rotary Park along the Mississippi River and found a small group of Warblers that are still moving through the area. In the evenings look up for migrating Common Night Hawks. Happy Birding!
Loon update: The loons are now nesting and have two eggs laid. Here is a link to “LIVE” Loon camera from central Minnesota.
