After we returned from our hike up Eagle Mt, the highest point in Minnesota, which is in the Boundary Waters National Canoe Wilderness, I decided to check out the marina in Grand Marais hoping to see some shore birds. Again, maybe it's too early in the year yet, but there wasn't much for migratory birds. I did see lots of Herring Gulls (Above) a few Mallards, and a pair of Common Mergansers (Below) in the water.

In a treeline on the shore, there were Common Crows and Song Sparrows (Above), but not much else.
