While out on a drive through the forest roads today I happened across two male mergansers fighting over one female. The birds were on a fast-moving creek and the males were chasing each other up and down the swift water. It was quite a sight to see. Eventually one of them chased the other off and the two shown in this photo swam upstream together.
I'm still going through images from the Aurora Storm that occurred on April 23-24, 2023. This one was taken looking down the road from my driveway. This night ranks in the Top 3 of the Aurora events that I've seen in northern Minnesota. It was simply unbelievable.
Beautiful sunset this evening! Loved how these rays were shooting up from behind the clouds. A magical moment.
