earlorfphotos > Our Itasca Birding Club had a field trip to the Minnesota Power Company plant in Cohasset this summer.  One of the non-bird species we saw was this White-tailed doe.  She stopped at the edge of the road, looked us over carefully, and then continued down the hill as if she was used to seeing cars and humans.
earlorfphotos > This White-tailed Deer fawn has been showing up in our yard.  At first it was coming with its mother.  But it now seems to have become more independent and is coming by itself.

earlorfphotos > At first glance, this Franklin’s Ground Squirrel could be mistaken for the more common Eastern Gray Squirrel.  But note the smaller ears, less bushy tail, and brownish color on this ground Squirrel.  They live in the tallgrass prairie areas and can be found in Ontario, Manitoba, and the Midwestern United States.  They have a gray head and tail.  One of my sources said this gray color results from alternating bands of black and white on individual hairs.  They aren’t often seen because they spend about 90% of their time in their underground burrows.  This photo was taken at White Oak Lake near Deer River, Minnesota.
earlorfphotos > My friend Shawn and I found a flock of male Yellow-headed Blackbirds in Deer River, Minnesota.  They were walking around on the lawn of one house and eating something (probably insects) off the grass.   Males have a bright yellow head and chest and a white stripe on their wings.  Females are streaky brown with some yellow on their face.  The Yellow-headed Blackbird’s call is a squeaky, raspy, grating sound which is often called the worst song of any of our North American species.
