Welcome to Today at the AHATS Wildlife Observation Area (formerly TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area.) I've been visiting this small park regularly since 2008. This is a log of all the wildlife and nature I experience nearly every day.

Today at the AHATS WOA, I Saw Goats Beard
I caught the goat's beard open this morning at the Arden Hills Army Training Site Wildlife Observation Area. The butterfly weed and black-eyed susans are about to bloom. I also saw 5 common loons, a flycatcher of some sort, one female eastern bluebird, 6+ tree swallows (think most were recent fledglings), one northern flicker, a wood duck, a trumpeter swan and heard a gray catbird yapping away.

Today at the AHATS WOA, I Saw an Osprey
This osprey flew over with a fish...missed that shot. It ate it in a dead tree and then flew over me on its way back to Turtle Lake. It was moderately windy with cool storm clouds tonight.
What else I saw: 6 turkey vultures, 3 loons, 1 eastern bluebird, song sparrow, 3 or 4 barn swallows about a half a dozen tree swallows, crows, red-winged blackbirds and one trumpeter swan.

Today at the AHATS WOA, I Saw Sumac...and Clouds
Saw the bluebird pair and some crows today along with the sumac. The sumac trees are really taking over. Oh and the lupine is blooming!
Here are some clouds:
