Celebrating America's Tallgrass Aspen Parkland. Friday, March 23, 2012. Hundreds of Tundra Swans in Warren. Hey, have you seen all the swans in the fields down 190th Street? Randy Trudell asked me when he stopped by to give me an estimate on a tree removal job at the Audubon Center. I saw them just now when I drove up here," Randy said. No, I hadn't.

I spotted a pair of grouse up a tree in the sn...

We see Snowies every winter in the Red River Valley, but this year has been special. Get out and look - now! A week or so later, this bird was hunting mice at the woodpile. While these birds are kno...
