Update: Fall 2019: The Minnesota Birding News App has been replaced with the Minnesota Birding News Service which upon its roll out on October 19, 2019 automatically tracks content updates from 38 birding organizations with a primary focus upon Minnesota. The service is free and has no advertising.
Wild Turkey Trot!
I’m back up north in Duluth after giving my “Outdoor Photography on a Budget Seminars” (access materials). On my final afternoon down in the Twin Cities I took a hike in French Park, and reinforced the adage when birding … use both your eyes and ears! Towards the end of my hike I heard some rustling in the woods. It sounded like a squirrel running on the leaves, and I almost ignored the sound. Instead I turned around to investigate and discovered a flock of nine wild turkeys only 15 yards away from me!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Geese Awaiting the Rising Sun!
Found these Canada Geese about five minutes before sunrise this morning at French Park in Plymouth, Minnesota. The sky never went pink, but heck … I wasn’t complaining. A few minutes before I took this photograph, a bald eagle slowly cruised the shoreline, which was not appreciated by the assembled multitude.
