Here’s something you don’t see every day (or at least I don’t): American Robins ice fishing for minnows. There’s a flock of dozens of Robins that stay the whole winter in this park. They work together to chip a hole in the ice of a small pond in a marshy area, then take turns heading …
One of my favorite things to do in the spring is go out birding – especially since the pandemic when everything else was shut down.

Favorite Photos of 2017 It’s hard to believe that another year has passed! This year had me sticking closer to home in Minnesota, though I did manage to sneak away to the northeastern part of the state several times. Part of what makes a photo special to me is the experience and adventure I had …
