Duluth, MNPark PointLake Superior side of the Bath houseSat. May 30I, like Shawn Zierman, had the pleasure of spending a couple hours with a nearly adult plumaged American Golden Plover and two Black-bellied Plovers on the beach at Duluth's Park Point this weekend. But unlike Shawn, I had the beach to myself at 6am. [I think this is the second time in May that Shawn has had golf balls hit at him and the birds he was photographing!]I crawled on my belly to within 12 feet of the Golden Plover who basically ignored me....sitting in the sand, preening, yawning. The Black-bellied wanted nothing to do with me...staying 50 yards beyond. But curiosity got the better of him and he eventually approached me! Here are some of the photos (and other spring birds..TX, SD, ND too) Sorry the header is screwed up.http://www.stoneridgepress.com/Newsletter35.htmEnjoy!
