Molly and I started our drive back to Minnesota from the Colorado Rockies. Today’s route took us through the high plains desert. Birds were not to be found. I had almost despaired finding a suitable candidate for day #45 when this “ramblin rooster” saved the day!
2014 has been an epic Winter. Lake Superior is almost 100% covered by ice for the first time in years. These conditions have resulted in penguins migrating into our region. Their movement has been driven by Winter conditions which has helped them expand their range into the Northland.

My morning bird hike rapidly improved this morning. At 6:45 am heavy fog ruled, but by 7:30 am sun was blazing down. This little blue heron provided the perfect photo opportunity. Is it rule of Memorex?
