Day 302: The Goldeneyes are Back!

November 26, 2014Year 1MN North: Canal Parkrichardhoeg@gmail.com

One of my favorite winter birds are Goldeneyes. These northern ducks which spend the summer on the Arctic ocean in Canada come south to Lake Superior for the winter. One of their favorite “hang-outs” is the entrance to the Duluth Harbor, Canal Park.

Day 301: Common Redpolls Fighting

November 21, 2014Year 1MN North: Old Vermilion Trailrichardhoeg@gmail.com

As the snow gets deeper in the Northwoods, spats over food increase! Photographed these Common Redpolls this morning on Old Vermilion Trail just north of Duluth having a disagreement over who gets to eat first for breakfast!

Day 300: Nuthatch Bests Eagle

November 21, 2014Year 1MN North: Amity, MN North: Split Rock State Parkrichardhoeg@gmail.com

I asked many friends which bird should receive “bird of the day” honors for #300. Everyone agreed the white-breasted nuthatch. Condolences to our national bird, the bald eagle.
