There are those times you realize you are behind the eight ball and trying to get caught up. Then there are times when you feel like you’re underwater trying to get above the workload enough to just catch a breadth before going under again. Then there’s those times when you realize that those times you thought were stressful and overwhelming were comparatively more like a slow stroll through a park. My life has been more like the latter lately due to some imposed timelines and activities that nearly brought me to my knees. The good news is I have finally broke through to the park walking stage and doing my best to take a breather before relighting both ends of the candle. At least all that work filled up the coffers of blog material that will be coming at you over the next several weeks. For now, I wanted to give some love to the Wildlife side of my blogging efforts.

That cute feathered specimen was a pleasant surprise on our recent birding trip to Minnesota. It is quickly being realized how successful that trip actually was. If you have been keeping up with my output of words, you have probably come to this same conclusion. Several of my posts have covered birds that made it into the tin on that trip back in July 2017 at the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge. In particular, one of those posts – the Black Tern (link here) is the reason for this find. While standing by the water’s edge trying to keep the glass on target with the hunting Terns, this specimen decided to pop out of the reeds in front of me. Possibly to show off its; own hunting abilities.
