Dam Bird Class

Tonight our bird class was at the Coon Rapids Dam.  The weather was brisk when we started at 5:30 but downright cold by the time we left at 7:30.  We saw great blue heron, osprey, mallards, rock doves, yellow rumped warblers (my first this year), herring gulls, tree swallows, Canadian geese, crows, a flock of comoronts, a pileated woodpecker, and robins.

PS the pair of vultures were sitting in the same tree on my block this morning.
