We usually have lots of activity at our bird feeder from the first snow fall until we get bare ground in the Spring. By the first of January we can identify some the the individual birds by their personality traits. Today for the first time ever, we had an flock of Evening Grosbeaks who decided to visit the feeder. Lots of excitement when a flock of large yellow birds with white wing patches decided to stop by.
The Latin name for this bird "Evening Night Singer" is actually a misnomer. They definitely are out feeding in numbers during the day.
The Gichigami Express Sled Dog Race is coming the the mid-Trail area on Sunday January 6th! It is always fun to see the dogs and mushers arrive after of day of being on the trail. Lots of activity getting the dogs fed and rested before starting another day of racing on Monday. When on the "trail" the dogs always seem to be smiling.
The winter season for the Lake Trout fishing opener is December 29th. Since we don't get many chances to fish during the summer we always look forward to the opening of the "hard water" fishing season.
