Birds on My Morning Hike


Behind our campsite was a trail that wandered back and forth down a hill to reach Lake Vermilion.

The trail wasn’t technically open. The storm from earlier in the year had taken down trees across the path. But that made it more exciting in climbing over trees and around obstacles.


The best part of the hike was that I saw a bald eagle fly past (no picture since it happened quickly right over me). Besides the normal birds, I also saw grouse several times. Sometimes we scared each other as they flew through the brush to get away from me while I jumped from the noise.

And it wouldn’t be Minnesota with the sounds of loons. Didn’t see them, just heard their cry.
