The other morning while out for my early morning walk I heard a loon calling as it took off from water some where by my house, I figured they would all be farther up north by now.

Speaking of yesterday at Loring Park... I'm 95% certain I saw a common loon there at about 7:00 PM. I didn't have binocs, but it was about 50-70 feet away, in the middle of the bigger lake. It had the sharp, all-black head of the common loon; it was making swift diving runs (and there is an abund

I'm sure many birders, myself included, remember Springbrook Nature Center as a place where we got fabulous looks at a Boreal Owl a few years ago. Consider taking a look at today's Metro section of the Star Tribune (Thurs June 19) for an article regarding the current situation at Springbrook Nature
