Went out to Sherburne Wildlife Refuge to see who's moving north and came across Trumpeter swans resting in a flooded corn field.

Along the way we met a Red wing blackbird flashing its red patches, a turkey tom who survived the 2010 Thanksgiving, hooded and American mergansers, pintails in courtship flight, ringbills, mallards, eagles, canada geese, sandhill cranes,  and a lone golden eye.
