On my annual January 1 jaunt along the Mississippi river gorge, I came across a flock of about 28 robins. Springs along the river valley offer relatively warm wintering over spots for a population of robins. Fourth year running I've searched out New Years day robins successfully.
Purpose of note is to ask a question I've always wondered about. There has been virtually no swallows on the cliffs below Fort Snelling for years. There used to be a lot of 'em. Is the decline for lack of mosquito's? Other environmental impact? Can anything be done to reintroduce them to the area? They add a lot to a twilight summer walk along the bicycle/walking path between Minnehaha Park and Fort Snelling State Park. Earl Netwal 5344 36th Ave S.
