Spring Migration - Recap of Recent Sightings

Here's what it includes for the Northfield area, including Lake Byllesby on April 3 and Union Lake vicinity on April 9:

We had two wood ducks swimming along the shoreline here this morning. They flew off before I could get my camera. It was nice to see them, and to see a little bit of open water!
I also saw two swans flying overhead on 4/8. Beautiful sight!
I've very rarely seen wood ducks - they are so amazing, aren't they?
I forgot to mention that yellow-bellied sapsuckers were seen on the 4/9 Union Lake-area outing.
Y'all shouldn't go around belting kingfishers or swallowing trees, to say nothing of the unfortunate deer.
