Within the past week a few cardinals have returned to the Northland. Their presence is definitely enjoyed after a long winter of white. The days are starting to get longer now, and soon the severe cold will give way to days with above freezing temperatures. Thus, it’s nice to see a few early spring migrants, particularly the “red” ones!

Off topic for this post, given all the demand based upon my interview published in the Star Tribune, I have now added the ability to purchase high resolution photos of my bird, nature and landscape photography. However, as always, you are welcome to download a watermarked image at no cost from this web site or my Flickr account for personal, non public use.
