FOY: Broad-winged Hawk, seen Lino Lakes Some of our wood duck houses see double duty with squirrels early in the spring and Wood Ducks and Hooded Mergansers later. I watched as squirrel loitered on a wood duck house that I had seen mergansers exiting a few days earlier. When the squirrel looked in the house, he was quickly detered by an incubating merganser, who almost took out his eyes.
I watched as Swamp Sparrow yesterday and a Yellow-rump today fed by picking small bugs from the surface of the water, which I had never seen before.
