Thanks, Fr. Tom, I've been lax about reporting, but two broad-wings flew over the railroad bridge just north of Crosby, on the weekend. they came from the direction of the Lilydale Yacht Club, and barely cleared the trees behind the Academy of Neurology Sciences, before spiraling upward and northeast. I'm glad to hear the gnatcatchers are back; I've been listening and looking for them, hoping to locate a nest in the area this year. The east section of Crosby is part of a Priority Block for the Minnesota Breeding Bird Atlas, for which I am collecting data, so any reports people can provide from there, especially if they indicate breeding behavior, are much appreciated. Likewise, for Lilydale Park, the highland golf course, and even residential areas east of Snelling, and south of Summit. Linda Whyte
