On Monday afternoon, our bird class met at the Coon Rapids dam. The time of day and the windy weather made for poor bird watching. We did see the osprey incubating her eggs on the Hennepin side of the river. We also saw mallards, blue winged teal, bald eagles, robins, red winged blackbirds, tree swallows, cliff swallows, goldfinches, chipping sparrows and yellow rumped warblers. Our next trip is on Saturday morning and we will go to Carlos Avery where I am sure we will see lots of species. I am hoping for a wave of warblers.
