Tourist Posers

A rather early start of the day and we are off to Hawk Ridge.

Learning how many Blue Jays have been counted there this year might explain why we have seen so many Blue Jays here at Walleye World.

We learned that our precious little Hummingbirds have a very long journey ahead of them. It is hard to imagine those teeny little birds flying all the way to Mexico for the winter. Not hard though to understand that they are off to enjoy warmer weather. It surely would not take long for the Hummingbirds to freeze to death in this climate of severe winters.

Peter wanted to pretend that we were tourists in Duluth, so after Hawk Ridge, we took the North Shore Scenic Railway trip. We recalled all of the other trains that we have ridden all around the world. The only other slower train was in Costa Rica for Sloth spotting. Then, there was the bullet train or “Shinkansen" in Japan. Faster than a speeding bullet?

Next was a tour of the US Steel iron ore vessel the William A. Irwin. The guest quarters were my favorite. Must have been a sign to get on another boat. Fast.

After posing as tourists we really did not leave much more to see.
