Browse on over to my main blog, NorthStarNerd.Org. I have a post with multiple photos on the subject of wildlife habitat. Here is a photo of my own northern Minnesota home. Note how my yard is a combination of woods, long grasses and perennials. Please give some consideration before you have the perfectly manicured lawn maintained with tons of fertilizer.
Music at sunrise! This thrush (hermit?) was singing his head off at dawn this morning, and I enjoyed the concert. Little did he know what danger lurked beneath the ponds of Heathrow this morning! Take a look at the claw that is jumping out of the water to attack the Snowy Egret. Reflections are wonderful!

The Claw! (Snowy Egret)
Well … actually a Little Blue Heron and a Snowy Egret, but the alliteration sounds better with the word “heron”. I love the intensity of each bird’s eyes. Perhaps the fish wish they were a bit less focused on the hunt!
