A Ride Down the Tomahawk Trail

[finnbay]

Tough time to get much for images right now. No reason to sit inside and stew about it, right? Took a ride down the Tomahawk, listened to the Twins game and got a few shots:

Biggest game I saw - a star nose shrew:

White winged crossbill:

An artsy interpretation of a crossbill:

Layers:

My buddy Dougie D. used to call this "Black Water":

And a ruffie that made it through the winter - at least so far:

That mole looks like a creature from outer space. I didn't know MN had such a species. I love your Crossbill. That's another bird I've never seen.

Nice shots Ken, the mole looks like he is about to freeze the tentacles right off his nose. I bet he is a first on the forum!

The cross bill is a killer shot too and I really like the composition of the grouse shot. Good job!

[Birdsong]

That is the strangest little dude I've ever seen! Yikes. Good pictures though. I like the grouse as well. And layers.

[Nymph]

I like the grouse shot.

[USRanger]

Like the comp on the grouse pic.

[Steve Foss]

Yikes, it looks like the Shrew That Ate Manhattan!

I really like the comp on the grouse. Very nice and clean environmental portrait. Sweet one on Mr. Crossbill, too.

Ken I like the Layers shot. It looks like a layered cake made by mother nature. That Grouse better not sit out like for too long with all the raptors moving north.

I like the grouse especially, good job. That shrew has a face only a Mama could love. Good thing they don't have access to a mirror.

That grouse shot sure is nice Ken!...great image!........good thing those star-nosed shrews aren't 10 pounds...yikes!

Thanks all. The grouse gives me another perspective on a type of shot. Thought I was too far away to get a significant shot, but really liked it after I saw it.

Never seen that kink of shrew before, thanks for putting it up. You called it 'game'. People call things they hunt and eat game, hum? Is a shrew burger any good? That grouse did turn out nice.

I agree with everyone else that grouse shot looks great, love that composition.
