On Tuesday September 23,2003 on a trip to 'Rice Lake National Wildlife =
Refuge' (Minnesota), We watched (and video taped) a Great Blue Heron =
feeding in the 'Rice River, numerous ducks, a spruce grouse crossed the =
road in front of us, 2 'Red tailed Hawks, soared above, and 1000's of =
Canadian Geese splashed, played & rested in Rice Lake, 100's (if not =
thousands) of Red Winged Blackbirds put on a 'show', and an American =
Bittern, 2 Robins (haven't seen many of those around lately) and other =
songbirds also made their appearance. We also captured some 'Awesome' =
footage of Butterflies & Bees pollinating flowers, it is so close-up =
that we are able to view the butterflies tongue probing the flowers and =
curling and uncurling!=20
Some neat footage of a Painted Turtle as he wakes up from a nap and =
crawls across the road, followed by his caterpillar companion!
We plan to post some of the video clips for you to enjoy!
