As previously mentioned, the majority of my birding this year thus far has been local. But the constraints gave me good cause to focus on getting some pictures of breeding birds at Chahinkapa Park. I discovered a great little spot along the river where the swallows and other birds would touch down, so I arrived there early one morning to sit quietly and see who would show up.
This week I was able to hang out in the Twin Cities with family. On Thursday morning, we headed over to the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden and Bird Sanctuary. In addition to a humble list of birds, I was able to observe a doe and pair of white-tailed fawns.
And yesterday, before leaving the cities, I swung down to walk the old Cedar Avenue bridge.
