Last night, after returning from a great trip to SW MN with Craig Mandel, I
noticed there was still skim ice on Lake Calhoun.  This afternoon, both Calhoun
and Harriet were 95% ice free.  Few birds present, but that should change over
night. Birds seen: Common loon, pied-billed and horned grebe, red-breasted
mergansers, ever-present mallards and ring-billed gulls. It will be fun to see
what shows up as migrants move north.
