Had fun watching the annual Lester River Kayak Race today. The organizers have to wait till the ice overhangs are off the river (safety), and the flow is properly fast. At that point the decision is made to race! This pool plunge is about a one mile hike from my home!
In the video … one kayaker goes forward, and one goes backward!
And some more photographs. The Lester River is a wilderness river which screams down to Lake Superior on the NE edge of Duluth, Minnesota.
In the past few days I am starting to see the early stages of duck migration through the Duluth area. Capturing these two ring-necked ducks were definitely the highlight of the morning’s birding adventures. The forecast calls for a northeast wind and rain tomorrow. Our long string of gorgeous days may finally be at an end, but it has been great.
I actually went looking for hawks this morning, but although movement was slow, other bird species picked up the slack!
