Hi Everyone!
Well if you live in Minnesota you know how cold and rainy and dreary the last few days have been. Even had some snow. So this morning even though it was brisk I took out my Panasonic and headed for the river. I was hoping to get a better shot of the owl but no such luck. My next thought was to see if the kestral were back in the power pole hole. I stood by their traditional nesting place for several minutes staring intently into the hole through my camera lens before I saw a Kestral seated upon the pole next to it. I took several pictures from various angles then headed upstream only to have the kestral fly off over my head and back to another hole. I then began to look for an eagles nest someone had tole me about on the south side of the 610 bridge. When I got down there all I saw were several yellow rumped warblers but the light was good so I got some shots. Later on the way back I spotted three wild turkeys' mom, pop and baby gobbler.
A woman walked by with her stroller wondering what I was looking at, when I told her she said " oh they come to my door every so often" she told me she lives along the river.
We later on went off to dinner with friends but when we came back in the evening I saw how beautiful it was out so back to the dam we went. I had good light for the osprey and they were in a romantic mood so I got a few pictures of them
and some sunset shots from the walkway. 
So that was my Sunday. I hope that your sunday was beautiful too. Ron
