After all the hard work located and photographing all the various raptors over the past few days, and given I am not feeling the greatest, I decided to try and “bring out the eye” of a black-capped chickadee. I think I succeeded!
Per normal I went birding at sunrise this morning, While I had fun watching a rough-legged hawk hunt as the initial rays of the morning popped up over Lake Superior, it was even better when I got home and discovered some purple finches had “invaded” my feeders! Like any true Minnesota Vikings fan, I love the color purple! The today I bring you purple finch power! (and the hawk at sunrise)
Even though it is not yet even Thanksgiving, winter storms continue to roll through Northern Minnesota. The past two days (November 23 and 24) saw heavy snow and winds gusting above 30 mph. Conditions of this type make bird photography a challenge!
