Well, it’s a Minnesota spring! Not very spring- like weather today on April 18, but there have been some nice warm days earlier this week. The ice is going quickly. A hungry bear was out near the beach, raiding bird feeders and bending a shepherd’s hook. Guess the birds have to share now and then! Thanks for the photos from Fan Rude.
