As I type this post today’s how each day holds such different weather here in northern Minnesota. Yesterday was perfect … sunny skies, mild winds and a temperature in the mid 70’s. Needless to say I went birding at sunrise. Today, however, Lake Superior is showing who is boss. We may reach 60F, and their a brisk wind off the lake just to made the constant rain and fog a bit colder. We turned on the gas fireplace in our living room when our inside temperature fell to 62F.

Yes, I went birding to the Wisconsin Grasslands in NW Wisconsin yesterday. The young are exploring the meadows while demanding to be fed. Here are a few photographs taken early yesterday morning.
