Early- to mid-May is an excellent time to view warblers in their full breeding plumage, with a chance to see stunning indigo bunting, scarlet tanager and rose-breasted grosbeak.

Some lakes in northern Minnesota are still covered in ice. Anglers planning to fish in the northern one-third of the state this weekend should contact a bait shop located near their destination to learn if lakes are open and boat ramps are accessible. Also consider fishing a shallower lake since lakes that warm up faster are likely to offer better walleye fishing. And, please wear your life jacket, especially during May and early June, when the effects of cold water are particularly threatening.

Open water angling remains slow due to lingering cool temperatures.

In general, the month of April is an excellent time to view migrating waterfowl and shorebirds, as well as early returning songbirds, such as yellow-rumped warbler, ruby-crowned kinglet and palm warbler.
