I live near a 70 acre lake in the Twin Cities. It has an aerator, so there is always some open water before the normal ice melt. In the spring I keep an eye out for migrating water birds. I've learned that the hooded mergansers are always the first to arrive. Saw my first one today.

I'm about an hour north of the twin cities and saw 15 trumpeter swans resting in the corn field yesterday, and blue birds moving into a house today.

Saw a huge flock of Snow geese in South Central MN, and a flock of Trumpeter Swans this morning.

Red Polls are still hanging around with Chickadees at the feeders in the Superior North Shore Highlands. The snow is melting though...

Saw a large, high altitude, constantly changing V of what looked like White Pelicans flying over Little Canada on April 25.
