This morning I was treated to a unexpected visitor at Wood Lake Nature Center in Richfield, Hennepin Co. An Osprey stopped over to do some fishing, and I enjoyed its loud chirps as a Crow chased it around the lake.
The Hermit Thrush has arrived, and Ruby and Golden-crowned Kinglet's were around the park. Eastern Phoebe, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Brown Creepers, Bluebirds, Tree Swallows, 4 pair of Northern Flickers, Killdeer, and many singing Fox Sparrows. The resident Cooper's Hawk kek-kek-keeking has attacted his mate, and they were seen together in their nest adding sticks. Conny Brunell Richfield, Hennepin Cty [email protected]
