Sorry, I reported the Pine Warblers without a location.
They are south of Owatonna in Steele County.
The town of Hope is west of I-35.
We are at the same latitude east of I-35 which, I guess, is on the Hopeless
side.

Last evening (3-26-19), at dusk, there were around 300 Tundra Swans at The
Marsh, about 10 miles south of Owatonna on CR #45.
There were likely more as they could be heard calling from places deeper in the
marsh where they could not be seen.
