Carole Lent offered this handsome picture, taken on Wednesday, of a couple enjoying the view from the Duluth-Superior harbor:

Carole wanted to know what these are. My guess is double-crested cormorants, but I’m open to correction.

Hey ! The Hummers are back. We never have alot at our feeders but they have been busy the last week esp in the AM and around 7-9PM.
I’ve seen one hummer several times during the past week. I was glad I cleaned the feeders on Sunday.
Lots of hummers at my feeders here also. They always take some time off when they are nesting, now they’re back in full force!!
