Back in the USA … home to Duluth this afternoon! In the meantime, how many of you visit major metropolitan area parks early in the morning? Before anyone else visits? Such was the case this morning when I arrived at French Region Park in suburban Minneapolis at 5:45 am. I was the only “human” in the park, but the wildlife activity was extensive. Thus, even if you live in a huge city, wildlife is just around the corner, but one must visit parks before the masses. This morning, in between eating, there was some courting taking place.
