I stopped by Purgatory Creek in Eden Prairie this evening. I did not have binoculars but I saw two COMMON LOONS that were swimming together on the northern pond. Over the pond I saw the FOY Barn Swallow flying around. I had figured it would be a Tree Swallow but it did not have a white belly and had the clear forked tail.
There were also many gulls and waterfowl present, but I had no binoculars, making it impossible to identify most. Somebody reported to me earlier today that they saw, if I remember correctly, one Franklin Gull mixed with the rest of the gulls. Spring has sprung.
