The North House Folk School Photography Workshop was not about birds, but you know I couldn't ignore the birds I saw.  On the way to Grand Marais I stopped at Taconite Harbor, one of my favorite places to photograph birds.  At this time of year, I'm usually able to find Horned Larks like this one.  They like to stop here during migration and eat grass seeds in the overgrown parking areas.
