A beautiful blue heron takes to flight just east of North Redwood; A rooster struts its stuff west of Redwood Falls in a marshy, slough area; a male Northern Shoveler takes off after being spotted west of Redwood Falls; a mature doe is surrounded by beautiful scenery near a grove north of Redwood Falls; late spring and early summer are a great time to get out and explore the area and get a glimpse of all the beautiful wildlife and nature that we have around us.

Many people regard summer as vacation time, time spent with family and friends, time at the lake, at the cabin, time away. I, myself, have the sense that June brings with it something new, some different way of life. I look forward to long evenings reading on the deck. I love to be out puttering around with my plants in the light that doesn’t end until 10 p.m. I relish the lessening of the pace a bit in my work, and in our household schedules.

With the spring and early summer it's a time of renewal and rebirth. You can definitely spot young wildlife of all sorts around the area. I recently stumbled upon these masked bandits around sunset west of Redwood Falls. There were five young ones with mom. These three took a liking to me and posed perfectly for a shot. Ben Stoterau
