Starting late in the fall of 2020, I spent time taking photos of the wildlife in Minnesota and Wisconsin with a brief trip to the Gulf Coast of Florida in November of 2021.

Back in Minnesota, my early mornings and weekends were spent taking photos at Silverwood Park, Long Lake Regional Park, and Snail Lake Regional Park. Other photos were taken at locations in Scandia, Minnesota and throughout the Minneapolis and St. Paul area.

Deer kept following me around again his year. I watched a young buck being chased by a male Red-winged Blackbird across an open meadow at Silverwood Park. I enjoyed watching Great-horned Owls raise their family.

Birds continue to make up most of the wildlife photos with the focus on waterfowl, woodpeckers, songbirds, and shore birds.

I was fortunate to spend the time in nature alone and walking with others on outdoor adventures. I hope these photos encourage you to start your own outdoor adventure.

Common names and scientific names are given to each bird, animal, reptile and insect.
