I was in Minnesota for Spring Break so Wild Bird Center Staffer Bill Eeds led the walk for us this morning. Spring fever is certainly hitting the upper Midwest, as well as, Colorado. Be sure to view both the slide show from today's walk and my Minnesota slide show. Most of the images from my trip were taken at or near my mom's house.
Thanks again Bill for leading the walk.
