Long-Tailed Ducks!

Yesterday morning I went out biking in the drizzle / fog. It made for a nice cool ride, but not great photographic conditions. Near McQuade Harbor I noticed some ducks that looked unusual out on Lake Superior. Getting off my bicycle for a closer inspection, I realized the birds were Long-Tailed Ducks (Cornell Ornithology Link)! Normally these ducks should be up in the northern reaches of Hudson Bay, but today this flock was 200 yards off shore on Lake Superior!

Day 295: Clarence the Cross-Eyed Eagle!

I asked some friends which photo and bird should be “bird of the day”, and resounding vote was in favor of Clarence the Cross-Eyed Eagle. Thus, bowing to popular demand I bring you today’s bird … America’s national bird, the Bald Eagle!
