On the evening of April 7th Jillian Louise and I went on a spontaneous trip to Sherburne Wildlife Drive. It's the first time I've been up there this year and it was kinda more dead/grey than I was expected, probably not helped by the overcast/drizzly weather. The cool sighting of the day was a Short-eared Owl! I wasn't sure if it was some kind of Hawk or what at the time but when I looked at my photos I realized what we had seen. I've never seen one of those before and I got some low contrast grainy photos of it flying and perched on tree.
I also got some much better video of Sandhill Cranes than I've ever gotten before since there was a group of 6 of them who seemed very curious about this weird Wildlife Drive thing with humans and cars on it and kind of approached us at one point. :)
I also saw a few Double-crested Cormorants which I have been eagerly awaiting their return. I love the Snooty way they swim and how they constantly steal each other's fish. Also some very wet beavers were swimming and getting rained on.
