Snow and rain fell over the last few days and coated everything. The moisture is very welcome!
Two eagles fought over the nest near the river bridge, across the river from downtown Red Wing. The resident successfully defended the nest and drove off the intruder.
A Rough-legged Hawk passed through on its way north and three Sandhill Cranes foraged on Mud Lake, across the river bridge from downtown Red Wing. The resident eagle pair at Bay Point Park flew through the park and sat together in the wind. They may not have eggs to incubate yet if the female is still able to stay out of the nest. Dozens of Great Blue Herons stood in the snow on the shore near their rookery at Bay Point Park.
