April 10, 2015 Friday Bird Walk
For an unprecedented second Saturday in a row, I was not on the regular Saturday Bird Walk! We were in Minnesota for Spring Break. Okay, yes - ha, ha - very funny; I can hear the comments coming in, but yes, we did go to Minnesota for our Spring Break. It was great to be back in Minnesota and see some familiar birds and be in an upper Midwest habitat. We visited a great park, Tamarack Nature Center, twice in one day. Most of the images for the slide show and the checklists below are from Tamarack.

Eastern Bluebirds
Eastern Bluebird
Many birds are returning to Minnesota, just like they are all over the Northern Hemisphere. I was told that the eastern bluebirds had just returned to Tamarack recently. The birds I saw were actively defending territory and claiming nest boxes in preparation for the nesting season. The many Peterson-style bluebird boxes at Tamarack are, no doubt, well used. It was great to be back with eastern bluebirds.
