Went around various parts of Dakota County this morn before it started 
raining.  Highlights included:

140th St Marsh
-----------------
American Widgeon
Green-winged Teal
Blue-winged Teal
Gadwall
Pied-billed Grebe
Northern Shoveler

Emery Ave near 160th
------------------------
Loggerhead Shrike

180th St Marsh
----------------
Eastern Bluebirds

Is March 27th relatively early for loggerheads?   Last year my first 
sighting of them was on the 12th of April, though maybe that isn't 
indicative of relative arrival date, as I didn't do much birding the 
first two weeks of April or the last week of March (only 2 dates between 
3/23 and 4/12).

Cheers,
Chris
