Autumn
The foliage in the area is putting on its fall colors. This year's colors are definitely behind compared to previous years. According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Fall Color Finder, most of Swift County is currently at 25 to 50 percent peak color. At this time last year, we were already at 75 to 100 percent. The breezy conditions last week will most likely shorten the fall color season for us. This group of trees caps off a local grassy field. Look closely at the top center of the photo and you will find an eagle who was busy swooping around, most likely hunting for prey.Featured

Nagler, who farms in Six Mile Township north of Danvers, said the list was signed by residents and property owners in Swift County. It comes primarily from people in the City of Benson and western Swift County. Subscribe or Log In
