Canine Bird of the Day! (Yr. 2: Day 37)

February 27, 2015Year 2MN North: Two Harbors Highlandsrichardhoeg@gmail.com

Had fun north of Two Harbors this morning shortly after sunrise. Although I saw tons of pine grosbeaks, the real fun of the day was watching two timber wolves, and then this red fox a bit later. Seven photos ranging from the hunt … spitting up the hair ball … the stretch … to a full belly nap! Even though the temperature was -3F when I look this photos, the fox seemed warm curled up in the sun! The pine trees were providing an effective wind block to the northwest.

Year 2: John Beargrease Sled Dog Race!

January 25, 2015Year 2MN North: Dog Sled Racing, MN North: Two Harbors Highlandsrichardhoeg@gmail.com

On the 367th day, I did not photograph a bird, but I did take pictures of a lot of dogs!

This afternoon I drove north of the Stewart River to watch the John Beargrease Sled Dog Race. The mushers are now racing through the wilderness night. This race (300+ miles) is a qualifier for the Alaska Iditarod. We saw the mushers at one of their only two road crossings this afternoon.
