I can report that a loose flock of 50-100 robins passed through the woods at my
home in Mendota Heights last evening, and have had a few hummers visiting the
last few flowers on our trumpet vine.

Beginning to see early signs of migration about the yard. Today we had a
Swainson's Thrush feeding on dogwood berries. We also had an immature
Chestnut-sided Warbler fatally hit the window, which, for some reason, is a
rare occurrence here. I posted photos of it on eBird.
We have had daily visits from a male Pileated that likes our suet. Today, I
flushed a Coopers Hawk from a lake-side perch and yesterday I heard our
local Red-shouldered Hawk calling. Interestingly, the Blue Jays here
imitate the Red-shouldered rather that the Red-tailed calls. Hummingbirds
rarely visit our feeder, apparently too busy with the spotted jewelweed
flourishing in the yard.
Large moths have been visiting the kitchen windows, probably Locust
Underwings, although I am seeing them from the wrong side for an ID.
Leopard frogs and toads are thick in the yard. Probably the most
interesting non-avian observation was the road killed skunk at I-494 and
Penn Avenue, definitely not a rural local.
