Day 167 to 168: Duluth Waterfront Days

July 10, 2014Year 1MN North: Amity, MN North: Mouth of the Lester River, MN North: Western Waterfront Trailrichardhoeg@gmail.com

Had limited time for birding because my Dad was in the hospital for an operation (all went fine). I did briefly get out early in the morning and later in the evening along the Lake Superior and St. Louis River waterfront that forms the Duluth harbor. The water did not let me down as a good place to get good quick bird photos.

Day 116: Bird Color in the Afternoon

After the long winter up here in the Northland, it is nice to finally see some color. Thus, I decided a second post was required for today. The woodland song birds are really starting to migrate into the area!

Day 113: Western Waterfront Trail Warblers & More!

May 15, 2014Year 1MN North: Western Waterfront Trailrichardhoeg@gmail.com

Spring continues to show that it might be arriving in the Northland. This morning I took a long hike on the Western Riverfront Trail on the St. Louis River. Even the dark clouds, snow and sleet could not put me off enjoying the new birds arriving into the Minnesota forest. At least the warblers provided some color on an otherwise dreary day!
