[Mnbird] Mnbird Digest, Vol 64, Issue 4

[Kim Wilcox]

We also had FOY RWBB in our backyard yesterday - we were so excited to see
these harbingers of spring! In the past few days, we've spotted a small
group of swans in a field in Dayton, and in Rogers, a pair of swans stood
on a still-frozen pond near the site of last year's nest. And we were
delighted to see Red-Tailed Hawks returning to the nest near our house in
Otsego.

With the sun so much higher in the sky, stores are full of seed displays,
and Spring officially starting Thursday evening, it's hard not to be
feeling hopeful, even in these crazy days of social distancing and empty
store shelves.

Little paper packets of hope 😊

As we used to say back in the day,

Keep the faith, baby!
