Duluth-Classic Stage Race Photos

With the Duluth-Classic Stage Race changing it's Cloquet stage course from downtown to Pinehurst Park, I decided to head down and get pictures. The weather was a bit overcast and cool, but without rain which probably helped the bike race.

Out For A Walk

With nothing else to do and the temperature on the digital thermometer 77 degrees I had to take a walk with the camera :)

I'm not a bird expert but I'm pretty sure I got these cedar waxwings right ;)

Cedar Waxwing





This woodpecker has be wondering if it's a red breasted, or a downy or hairy.. but whichever it is it landed 3 feet from where I was standing so it wanted it's picture taken. EDIT::: 11 pm.. I've now learned that this is a female Yellow Bellied Sapsucker.. still a woodpecker, but this bird goes after the sap rather than bugs inside the bark.
