While I might be down in Costa Rica, there are some fun birding opportunities back home in Minnesota:

• BirdGV: A fellow techie buddy of mine from our Honeywell days has an amazing setup which allows anyone to watch Wood Ducks this spring … from laying eggs through “the drop”. Paul’s blog and cameras inside and out of his boxes will let you experience the wonder of these ducklings … wherever you may live. Browse, learn, enjoy, and subscribe. BirdsGV.
• The other opportunity is from the Friends of the Rice Lake National Wildlife Reserve. On May 3rd during prime migration from 9 to 12 noon they will have a birding experience at the reserve. See their website for details.
