Hey, what happened to the links on the side? I have switched to a blog roll format, I want to avoid having a list three pages long of blog links. If you don't see your blog there, try refreshing it and it should show up. We'll be adding to the list so keep your eye to it, you may see a new blog.

Good grief, Stan is keeping me busy this spring! I'll be doing all sorts of programs for him. Above is the Looking For Mr. Woodcock Video that Non Birding Bill and I made. I've had some emails asking about a woodcock trip this spring and yes, we will be doing one. Here is the list of what I'm doing for the Eden Prairie Outdoor Center:

April 7, 2007 6pm - Dance of the Woodcock (we'll be looking for dancing woodcocks)
May 5, 2007 10am - Basics of Birding By Ear (good for kids from 8 and up)
May 12, 2007 8am - Bluebird Trail (we'll go check out some bluebird nest boxes--bring a camera!)
June 30, 2007 8am - 2pm - Birding in Dakota County--species we'll watch for include dickcissel, bald eagle, Swainson's hawk, clay-colored sparrows, and waterfowl.
July 7, 2007 10am - Monarch Ranching! (learn how to look for monarch butterfly eggs and caterpillars and raise them until they emerge from the chrysalis ready to fly south).

Call the City of Eden Prairie for pricing and making reservations: 952-949-8479.

By the way, if there is a class or workshop or birding field trip you would like to take, please offer a suggestion and we might do it in the future.
