SUNRISE OVER COLVILL PARK – Red Wing, MN #aerialphotography

SUNRISE OVER COLVILL PARK

Sunrise over Colvill Park Saturday March 30th.  I wasn’t sure if I was going to see a sunrise or not.  The cloud bank was massive, dark and moving along rapidly.  You just never know.  I was pleasantly surprised.

Pre-sunrise

Pre-sunrise was very cloudy and not very colorful.

I was surprised that the sun made an appearance.  The clouds were think and moving.  I was a brief appearance.

COLVILL BAY – Red Wing, MN #exploremn

COLVILL BAY

After missing sunrise and quick drive down the lake and back I stopped in to Colvill Bay.  Per usual this time of year, there was a flurry of activity.  Ducks in the water and eagles flying overhead and perched in trees.

I was greeted right away by a mature eagle perched close by.  The snow was falling pretty good at this point; it sat there eye-balling the ducks below.

There were quite a few very active eagles there this morning.  As I was shooting, a poker theme emerged.

It was tough shooting with the steam rising off the water and snow falling from above.

It is always interesting to see what variety of ducks will be in the bay.
