I took my own advice this morning and drove up the shore before sunrise. In my post two days ago I gave advice on how to find Great Gray Owls. Thus, I chose a remote road which I had not birded before, and arrived at actual sunrise. My yield was two Great Gray Owls.

On the drive up the shore I was treated to a dynamic sunrise. I took this photograph of Splitrock lighthouse about 20 minutes before the sun peaked above the horizon.

Find roadkill … find Bald Eagles this time of year.

Finally I spent some time in Superior late yesterday afternoon. This immature male is a beauty.
