Quite a few Tundra Swans were moving over Dakota County this afternoon. In addition to a flyover group of around 30 in Hastings, I found a flock of greater than 200 in a corn stubble field southeast of the Hwy 316 & Nicolai Ave. intersection southeast of Hastings.
Other birds of spring included 3 Great Blue Herons at Rebecca Lake Park in Hastings, and Grackles and Killdeer in the fields around Hastings. Horned Larks were singing as well. A reminder that we are still in winter was a Northern Shrike seen at the intersection of 220th street and Orlando Ave. Scott Loss St. Paul ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
