Hawk's Ridge, Duluth MN
Sara and I visited Rik, Karen, and Alex in their new home in Minnesota. While Alex was napping, Rik, Sara, Gloria and I drove up to Hawks Ridge and did a short hike. It was a beautiful fall day, although it was past peak for the hawk migration. At peak migration, over 100,000 hawks pass by this ridge in one day, catching thermals and enjoying the view of Lake Superior. Their were naturalists showing off hawks in the parking lot. I imagine the hawk stuffed in the double coffee cans was "ever so pissed!"
