*April 25* *8 AM* William Marengo will lead a field trip to the Rapids Lake unit of the Minnesota Valley NWR and Louisville Swamp. We’ll spend the morning hiking the trails at the Rapids Lake unit. Then break for lunch, meet at the trailhead and parking area near the Renaissance Festival and spend the afternoon hiking the Louisville Swamp unit. We’re on the very edge of spring songbird migration. This outing isn’t geared toward any specific species but just an opportunity to see what early migrants have arrived. We’ll look for grassland and deciduous wood species. If the conditions are good we should see some hawk migration along the river valley and waterfowl should still be present on Rapids Lake and the “swamp” at Louisville.
