Head on

Alone on the Ice
A muskrat finds a small hole in the ice to dive through on the not quite yet frozen up Sturgeon River near Big Lake. A bald eagle was keeping close watch from the nearby power pole.
Curiosity
When a person stands on the edge of freezing up Big Lake before and during sunrise, even the muskrats begin to wonder what's going on. (The pink water is the reflection from the clouds as the sun came up)
Evening munch
A beaver munches on some vegetation in the late evening on the Sturgeon River. Sturgeon County.
