But it's a big matter of chance when you'll see them flying south. <BR/><BR/>And Trampled by Turtles! Love them! They are every bit as good as Yonder Mountain String Band, which I also discovered recently. It's kinda Grateful Dead meets Newgrass Revival...cool string band jam grass music.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1162527273395423832006-11-02T22:14:00.000-06:002006-11-02T22:14:00.000-06:00pablo- I know what the drive from Minneapolis to J...pablo- I know what the drive from Minneapolis to Jefferson City is like. It would have been fun. :)<BR/><BR/>vicki- I also know what the drive thru Chicago is like, and we'll probably be making it Thanksgiving weekend...no chance for stopping, but I'll think of you!<BR/><BR/>prairie chick- actually I went to Hutchinson, which is way south for me. I know there is a fisheries headquarters in Windom, and a couple of my coworkers are going to Ortonville tomorrow...quite a haul to Hinckley. <BR/><BR/>madcap- there are a few isolated pairs of trumpeters that breed around here and even spend the winter in some spots. The Tundra swans I guess breed a lot further north, and when they come through here it means migration is almost over and the lakes are on the verge of freezing.<BR/><BR/>Quit sending us your cold Canadian air! <BR/><BR/>FC- It went well. Swans calls, wolves howling...think tingles up your spine. That's what they do, better than a new fridge.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1162507979430934562006-11-02T16:52:00.000-06:002006-11-02T16:52:00.000-06:00Hope the drive went well.

I took a link and it's interesting how they compare.
