 A vanguard of Tundra Swans migrated into the region last week, including a pair that foraged in the shallows of a long lake just a mile from The Birding Wire office.
 A migration of Sandhill Cranes was encountered nearby Sunday morning, composed of 15 flocks numbering about 260 cranes.  White-fronted Geese have been among the first Arctic-nesting geese to advance into the region, and the first 8 Snow Geese led the way for hundreds of thousands to follow.
 A late season sighting of a Ferruginous Hawk at the same location where a pair was sighted in early April created an interesting backstory.
 Foggy conditions Thursday afternoon affected the quality of photos possible when a pair of Common Loons appeared on a nearby lake
