Finally, some sun! Kristen and JD revisit an old favorite - Myre Big Island State Park, nearly surrounded by Lake Albert Lea. Turkeys, ducks, geese, pelicans, herons, and other birds make their presence known.

Kristen and JD visit Sakatah Lake State Park on back-to-back days during Minnesota's spring bird migration. The park's rookery puts on a spectacular show with double-crested cormorants, Canada geese, American white pelicans, bald eagles, seagulls, and northern shovelers!

The front office is open from 10am-2pm. Some days. Maybe. If you're lucky.

Invasion! Emerald Ash Borers strike the park, causing trees to blonde. Kristen spots a pair of mallards hiding in a marsh.
