The Pilot Knob exhibit has opened at the Dakota County Historical Society in South St. Paul. Included is a handsome picture by Chris Fagyal of the rock wren at Acacia Cemetery on May 1, 2003, one of Chris's many fine pictures. Thanks Chris for letting us use it! I hope everyone gets a chance to drop in while the exhibit is on through Sept. 3.
