Sax-Zim Bog Addendum: Sandhill Crane Cleared for Take-Off

As noted on day #183, I visited the Sax-Zim Bog last week on my 1/2 year anniversary for this project. While in the bog I captured this sandhill crane during the take-off process. It took me a few days to make a collage out of the photos. Now posted here!

Day 186: Morning in the Mist!

Sometimes the best time to go birding is in light rain! I followed my own advice and spent some time at a small pond early this morning. As it was not stormy, the animals were busy feeding and moving around. Enjoy visiting my northern Minnesota pond, including the video included below of a beaver building its mound / nest.
