Two days ago a person could see open water on the Duluth side, behind a sort of residual mountain range of old snowpack mixed with sand along part of the water's edge. Last night's storms must have moved a lot of ice rubble since today the whole fogged-in Minnesota side was afloat with it, as far as the eye could see. The feeling was Arctic. Any red-throated loons would have been way off shore. But along the dunes there came an immature yellowthroat, wren-like and busy in shrubs, and a brilliant spring-adult Wilson's. Also every where I drove or walked there were Swainson's thrushes, blown in on the storms that must have also hit Duluth last night.
Sunday night there were three adult and one immature Bonaparte's gulls along the lake's edge there. *Tanya Beyer* <http://www.etsy.com/shop/EpiphaniesAfield> Want a signature like mine? <http://s.wisestamp.com/links?url=http%3A%2F%2Fr1.wisestamp.com%2Fr%2Flanding%3Fpromo%3D21%26dest%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.wisestamp.com%252Femail-install%253Futm_source%253Dextension%2526utm_medium%253Demail%2526utm_campaign%253Dpromo_21> CLICK HERE.<http://s.wisestamp.com/links?url=http%3A%2F%2Fr1.wisestamp.com%2Fr%2Flanding%3Fpromo%3D21%26dest%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.wisestamp.com%252Femail-install%253Futm_source%253Dextension%2526utm_medium%253Demail%2526utm_campaign%253Dpromo_21> ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
