On 4/30/12 I saw my resident barn swallow flying amongst the hordes of
martins and just now I heard my 1st chimney swift of the year. I also heard
the house wren yesterday so all the nesting birds from last year in my yard
are back.

The Falcon Heights park bittern was apparently a one day event. It was
seen by several last evening. This morning at least 20 people looked for
it and another four this evening but I have not heard that anyone saw it
today
