With migration drawing to a close for spring 2012, a few shorebirds continue
their northward move through Carver County. Coinciding with the end of spring
shorebird migration, many fields have dried or are now quickly drying. I have
added a few photos to my flickr account of shorebirds I have seen over the past
few weeks. If you are interested they are here.

photography but take pictures with my little point and shoot when the
opportunity presents itself.
