Wind-assisted take off....

I watched this big bald struggling to hold on to the branch. Soon she gave up, just opened her wings and allowed the wind to lift her before flying off.

Craved Crumpets this morning.

The USA doesn't have many options, so I make my own.
Using the Warburton's online recipe, I got 14 out. 7 down, 7 to go another day.
Smothered in Kerrygold butter is the only way too.

This is Plissken.
One of our naughty dogs dug him up the other day when it was freezing outside. My wife brought him in and gave him a little home until the weather got warmer and he could be released to find a burrow for winter.

Aurora not great tonight, so I didn't venture outside of my yard.
First shot looking north. 20s exposure with Sony a6000 and Rokinon 12mm.
Second and third, straight overhead with the weak winter Milky Way and a slight colouring. Rokinon 12mm and Rokinon 8mm fisheye.

Ring-necked Pheasant....

My 1st time spotting this stunningly beautiful bird. He stood at the roadside, gleaming with iridescence.
A few shots as he turned into the grass, getting about a foot in the grass and his rear plumage made him disappear.

The Sandhill Cranes are migrating through southeast Minnesota right now. Around 75 were foraging in the corn and bean fields, filling up to continue their journey. They are my favourite bird cal of all. True dinosaur!

Last Friday started with a thick fog hanging all along the Mississippi river here in southeast Minnesota.
I tried to get above it all to photograph the inversion effect but the bluffs weren't high enough.
Heading down to the river, I spotted a pair of misty Bald eagles. As the sky cleared, a Heron

Took a little detour after dropping off my recycling. Dropped into a place called Weaver boat landing. I've witnessed hundreds of pelicans at this spot plus numerous Bald eagles. Today, not much. Just a beautiful view and a wonderful monument.

Happy today to get my Jeep back after its altercation with a ten point white tail deer a couple of weeks ago.
A bit of a drive to get to the best body shop around, but a HUGE thank you to Winona Chrysler/Jeep/Ford, Bill and his body shop team.

I hate shopping at Walmart, but we don't have a lot of options within an hour's drive.
Came out smiling though, when I saw this good dog patiently waiting for its chauffeur.

Got to almost freezing this morning.

Bring on the winter. Bring on the eagle migration.

Met this absolute unit whilst driving home. Shell was over a foot long. It was just chilling out.

Dew-Bee-ous......

While taking the dogs around their yard today, I came upon a dewy bee, slowly coming from its chilly slumber.
No time to go and grab the camera and macro lens, so a few shots with the phone.

Today's shots from Lake Pepin, Lake City, Minnesota.
Eagle at the marina.
More pelicans than the other day and they were joined by a sudden influx of Ring Billed Gulls.

As my wife and I again discuss the possibility of leaving the USA and retiring to Scotland, we are sent a message from the sky.
That's it. Sorted then!

Successful Harvest....

Our local Canada Goose plantation had a successful year again. Over 500 sprouted in this field and eventually ripened and flew away. 😁

Migration is crazy right now down here in the bluffs of the Mississippi river valley in southeast Minnesota.

Canada Geese....

Migration is underway. The geese and Sandhill Cranes are stopping off in the few harvested corn fields by us.
