And for Friday, a solitary swan. Once near extinction in the US swans are still making a come back. But these efforts are being undermined by wetland loss, lead poisoning, and injuries from human infrastructure.

After kingfishers catch a fish they knock it around on the branch they perched on. Might have to zoom in a bit to see this one. I've never seen a kingfisher before I saw this one, let alone a fishing one.

Reading Northland by Porter Fox and was inspired to check out our northern border for myself.
Hiked a section of the Border Route Trail where Canada is just a stone’s throw across the Pigeon River.

In general I think pelicans can be a bit creepy especially when they eat. This pair were swimming back and forth swaying their heads like goose & swans do. I guess they're not creepy when they are being love birds.

I was walking along minding my own business, and I happened to have my new lens. This kingfisher was so fun to watch, I have never seen one before. This one dove a bunch of times for tiny little fish.

Still in the yard with the dark eyed junkos. I see these guys mostly over the winter and early spring. They're cute little birds.

Another test. Out in the yard when the all the robbins came and scratched for bugs in the garden. Not my favorite bird but they are fun to watch in the spring.

A brown creeper I think. New piece of gear, the Nikon 180-600mm. Now I can photograph all the birds. Just need to lift weights to be able to handhold or get used to the monopod. Birding here I come.

If they only read what we are reading in the responses to how people are perceiving the people of #Minneapolis and how they want to come here (when it is warmer). Really that #ExploreMinnesota commercial where the ladies try curling is it, more of THAT but bolder with concerts & making sambusas.

The North Shore lit up last night 🌌✨
From the far reaches of the Gunflint Trail, to Cross River Cabin in Schroeder, to the shores of Devil Track Lake at Blue Loon — the Northern Lights put on a spectacular show. 💚💜
