At my discounted palatial estate, I am living vicariously through the reports of friends who have seen Evening Grosbeaks in Albert Lea, Baltimore Oriole in Mankato, Carolina Wren in Albert Lea, Evening Grosbeaks in Lyle, White-winged Crossbill in Albert Lea, Baltimore Oriole in Wisconsin, Carolina Wren and Scarlet Tanager in Iowa, etc. It’s all good.<br>
