<p><font size="+1">Good afternoon. I enjoyed the presence of 2
Harris Sparrows under the feeder this morning, along with a few
White Throated which had been hanging around a few days. I had
not seen a Harris here for a few years now. A large flock of
Pine Siskins was again present, mixing with Goldfinches and a
few House Finches.</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Heard but yet unseen--a Catbird called yesterday
from the neighbors lilacs, and today there is a steady warble
from Wrens. <br>

<p><font size="+1">Yesterday my daughter and I saw 3 male Orioles in
trees at Spring Lake Park in North Mankato while we were on a
walk, although I have yet to have any in my own yard only 2
blocks away. The Oxbow at Hiniker Pond had several Wood Ducks,
a couple of Blue Winged Teal were hanging with them. One pair
of Mallards and one pair of Canada Geese had their babies on the
water with them. Last week we saw the FOY Great Blue Heron and
Kingfisher on the same walking route. Cindy In North Mankato</font><br>
