A skunk walked up to our golden retrievers in the backyard early this morning. Thankfully it didn’t spray— Bosco got up close! #duluth #skunk

I was going to post about this, but @duluthone.bsky.social beat me to it. If you are interested in the science of breast cancer and will be in Duluth on Thursday, Sept. 25, come to the Medical School for a community education talk! It is free, but call 218-726-8851 to register and reserve a spot.

More urban wildlife in the backyard: This time a black bear stopped by for a visit. At the very end of the video at the right edge of the screen, he stands upright and takes down our bird feeder.

A fox went through the back yard last night. He was in a hurry and didn’t stay to visit. #fox #duluth

Next up: a flock of -30 pelicans! I think I saw these same birds at the beach in Duluth last week

So nice to wake up with coffee and nature’s drama in the north shore of Lake Superior in Tofte. I’ve been watching crows and gulls harassing an eagle, an otter hunting for breakfast, and a pair of geese.

I brought Ripley into lab this morning. On the wall behind the digital microscope is a picture of my last golden, Bender, lying down beneath our old analog 'scope.
