With the large amount of snow this winter the birds seem to return at a later date and we found them in different location from former years. The Yellopw-headed Blackbird we usually found at a marsh just west of Morristown, and south of Hwy. 60. This year it was found on the island in Cody Lake, foy.
The Killdeer, foy, usually found about a month earlier, near Faribault, was found in the housing development on the east side of Circle Lake. Th Northern Rough-winged Swallow, foy, usually found on the west side of a metal business, Faribault, sitting on the barbed wire fencing. This year they were seen flying under a cancvas over a truck entrance. We saw a total of 20 species on our afternoon bird search. Rev. Forest V. & Kirsten M.
