WOW!! I think Spring has sprung! I birded Westwood Nature Center in St Louis

included Nashville, Tennessee, Palm, Yellow Rumped, Orange Crowned and Black
and White Warblers. They were in some budding trees beyond t
After 4:00 PM today I counted 37 loons on the south side of Lake Winona in
Alexandria. I checked the N. side of the lake, but it was still iced over. In

ducks.
I was there this evening, and the numbers had increased significantly. I

I first checked 180th Marsh today, and had some great looks at 3 Virginia
Rails, with David Moser, another birder. The rails were calling often, and
came out numerous times. David saw a Sora briefly. Larry Sirvio and Greg had
seen them earlier, and we saw shorebirds that were flying and landing
A huge thank you to Leslie for finding this bird. I was able to see it before

Around 6:15 this evening the 5 American Avocets on the southwest side of
White Bear Lake were flushed by an eagle and flew off in an unknown
direction. My attempts to relocate the birds elsewhere on the lake have so
far proven unsuccessful.

across the lake and difficult to count, but there were at least 60 Ruddy ducks
in all. There was also a raft of 30 coots, perhaps 20 common me

This afternoon I saw a single eared grebe in the mix of several horned-grebes

With ice out occurring up through Wright County now, I thought I would let
people know about a lake drawdown project that is in effect and could provide
for some good shorebird viewing. The name of the lake is Malardi Lake, and it
is roughly two miles northeast of the city of Montrose. There i
Also on the large lake yesterday were two Common Loons, which I've rarely
seen there. Then again, I've rarely seen Horned Grebes at Crosby, but it
does seem like a reasonable "rest-stop" for migrants.

Following the directions of Doug Kieser, we went to the Wahibo marsh last night
and saw two ibises foraging together around the edge of the marsh on the east
shoreline. One was clearly a white-faced, but the other did not have the white
markings and may have been a glossy. I have some digiscope

Time allowed only a truncated exercise walk, but yesterday there were a
number of Horned Grebes among the Pie-billed Grebes on the two lakes at
Crosby Park. There were also some FOY Blue-gray Gnatcatchers hunting off
the paved trail by the big lake.
