The following words are from my own blog post a few year’s back, but the images were taken late yesterday afternoon at Duluth’s largest bird feeder, Canal Park:
This bird feeder is now open and stocked. Now that the harbor is frozen, but the canal is still open due to current and the passage of freighters, huge flocks of Goldeneyes are present. The ducks know that the canal walls are lined with zebra mussels, which means food! Around 3pm in the afternoon on any sunny day the sun streams down the canal giving excellent photography conditions. However, dress warmly because you are often very exposed to the North wind.
