I just saw a sharp-shinned Hawk fly in and pick off one of the sparrows
chirping under an arborvitae. As I walked to the back of the house, it flew
low outside my 4 season porch windows.
Yesterday I was in Fergus Falls and took a couple of hours to identify
as much as I could.
Here's the list

N. Shoveler
Horned grebe
Redhead
woodduck
Double-crested Cormorants
Canada Goose
Bufflehead
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Pied-billed Grebe
American Robins
Common Grackles
Mallards
Ring-billed Gull
White-breasted Nuthatchs

Great Egret...several in breeding plumage
Blu- winged Teal

Back in Alexandria:
Ruddy Ducks were on the S. side of Lake Wanona. Several small rafts of 15 or
so birds each.
Good birding!
