hardy souls ventured out into the wilds of the primordial frozen tundra
on Tuesday February 9th, weathering 10 degree temperatures along the
river bottom of the Minnesota Valley Wildlife Refuge. Wildlife
were in abundance as we watched a coyote slink across the ice of the
large backwater swamp, perhaps looking for a snack around the open
water of a beaver lodge. No beavers or kits, but recent evidence
of some serious tree gnawing. Looking closely over the left
shoulder of Bruce W (pictured) you can just make out the wing of one of
the few remaining Pterodactyls from the last Paleolithic glacial
period. Lunch was served by "Dave" at Famous Dave's Barbeque, and all returned home for naps. |
