Had a pretty good morning with just under 70 species. Hoping for more shorebirds (got only 4 species), but am still finding a good mix of waterfowl (17 species total, including Loon, Red-Breasted Mergansers, Horned Grebes, and a few others on Como Lake in St. Paul, plus Greater Scaup and Redhead on a Washington County farm).
Additionally, personal firsts for the year included Green Heron, Northern Rough-Winged and Barn Swallows (all at Maplewood Nature Center), plus a Western Meadowlark (one vocal individual among a handful of also-vocal Easterns at the St. Paul airport). Oh--and another first this year--a deer tick. I guess it's that time!
