While driving home from my morning’s bird outing at the Greenwood Creek Bird Feeders (-16F with 2 feet of new snow), I stopped by Stoney Point on Lake Superior which is 12 miles from my house. This location is often great for birding during both the northern and southern bird migrations. While I did not see any cool birds, some locals were surfing. Uff Dah! The surfers had to dodge ice flows.
The images are all taken from the same vantage point, with different camera lenses including varying degrees of zoom. Last week’s blizzard with its 60+ mph winds have totally ice crusted the trees near the shore.

Nice shots! As an irrelevant aside, I might mention that I was awakened
this morning here in Golden Valley by a hooting barred owl 20 feet outside my
bedroom window. I spotted him immediately, just as a second owl arrived on the same feeble-looking branch. A brief, fluttering copulation took place a few seconds later.
It is the time of “love hooting” for owls, particularly down in the southern part of Minnesota!
beautiful- we saw the surfers there today- burrrrr
