I've put together the photos I took on Wednesday when Val Cunningham and I went to Afton State Park and Lake Elmo. I still need to identify some of the prairie plants. The photos are at:
<http://www.birderblog.com/bird/Places/MNStateParks/AftonSP/05-0629AftonElmo.html> I also posted a gallery of various bird photos that are large enough to work as computer wallpaper or screensavers. That's at: <http://www.birderblog.com/bird/Graphics/Screensaver/Gallery.html> None of my photos are copy-protected--I take them to share my happy experiences with birds. Use as you like (just, as I usually say, don't pretend you took them.)

There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter. --Rachel Carson
