Black Ice and Morning Birdsong


I always marvel at how quiet it is here, how many birds I can hear at once. Out raking yesterday we heard the mourning doves, a killdeer, geese, and lots of redwing blackbirds. "Pick me! Pick me!"

I found these great websites to use with my class, that with just a click, pick the birdsong you want to hear.



The bigger lakes are still frozen, and in town on Lake Winona, which is open, the pelicans and loons are gathered together. But if you look at this Lake Ida ice, by next weekend we'll be looking at BLUE WATER! FINALLY! And those birds that eat fish can get down to business.
