In January 2005, I traveled to Duluth, Minnesota with a group of birdwatchers to see and experience an unprecedented irruption of owls from northern Canada. An irruption occurs every several years and is caused by a cyclical reduction in the vole population in the owls' natural range. During these years, the owls migrate to more southerly areas where food sources are more plentiful. On my trip, I saw four species of owls in one day: northern hawk-owl, great gray owl, boreal owl, and snowy owl.
Since this was a birdwatching trip, and because I was traveling with a group which was focused mainly on seeing birds, I was not able to visit or photograph many of the sights in the area, but I did take some pictures of the muskeg and forests I visited.
Later in 2005, I went to Minneapolis for a five-day business trip. Of course, I took some time to visit and photograph some of the sights and attractions in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul to round out my page about the North Star State.

Wow :) that is some shopping mall you describe here & I do like the translation of Laughing Waters = enjoyed the virtual tour | Kuznetsov_Sergey Mon Jul 16, 2007 17:09 UTC
Very interesting and informative page! The Cathedral of Saint Paul looks like his brother in London. Didn't know that -43C is possible in Minnesota. Shops like Mall are occupying Moscow these years. We could hardly think about it in Soviet times. Th David | LoriPori Mon Apr 16, 2007 13:27 UTC
What a great page on Minnesota Dave. I was esp. impressed with the State Capital building, St. Paul Cathedral & Fort Snelling. Windsor also has a very popular sculpture Garden along the Detroit River. | CeciliaL Thu Aug 10, 2006 00:27 UTC
