A few days ago I kept track of raptor sightings during my wanderings working the metro area and only found Red-tailed Hawks plus a Bald Eagle. The last two days have been quite the oposite. The best sighting today was a Goshawk over I-35E and I-94 by downtown St. Paul. also seen were a Red-shouldered Hawk (I-35w near the Minnesota river), a Sharp-shinned Hawk, a Kestrel, Red-tailed Hawk, Turkey Vulture (actually yesterday in Eagan), and Bald Eagle.
This morning was warm and filled with singing spring birds, including Robins, Red-winged Blackbirds, and House Finches. Steve Weston on Quiggley Lake in Eagan, MN swest...@comcast.net
