spring in MN

Our spring arrived and we set record highs yesterday at 90 degrees
with no leaves on the trees and less than a week from loss of frost
line. First time ever in MN that I found a 4 frog pond because of the
weather.

Wood frogs should peak here during Easter weekend but are strong
now.  I spent 2 hours yesterday getting close to a small raft of
ducks.  I did it without my camo as it was too hot and with time they
slowly just got use to me and let me approach. I can't imagine how
Greg uses his guilles suit in the desert.

So much for local news. And for the current for fun temp. attachment
is a 135kb download of the dusk arial display of the Common Snipe
recorded in high winds without my prairie windscreen. I hate it when
I leave the wrong pieces in the van.
