Not Another Owl Post?!

Nope! There was a smelt run on the Lester River last night. I arrived at the mouth of the river with Lake Superior before sunrise. I took these images and video just as the sun kissed its way above the horizon. In addition to the cormorants and ring-billed gulls, there were quite a few mergansers. This was about 1/10 of the birds present. I didn’t stay long as I needed to head to the “owling grounds”.
