Early last century, when roads leading here from the Twin Cities were little more than ruts, and no one owned a car that could pull a trailer, “boat trains” snaked onto this big lake, two anglers to each rented craft, one boat tied to the next, the lot of them towed by a lead boat that was powered by a vintage, sputtering outboard.

Walleye action was beginning to slow from the torrid pace anglers had experienced since the May 10 fishing opener, but Upper Red Lake still was kicking out fish at a pretty good clip for late June, Tyler Brasel said.
That would turn out to be an understatement.

Lightning
Tom Challey of West Fargo photographed this lightning Thursday, July 10, at about 10 p.m. near West Fargo.
“It was a beautiful night and the sun had just gone down and then the storm rolled in,” Challey wrote. “I was able
to capture this huge stream of lightning in our backyard.
It seemed like it was only 1,000 yards away.”

Seeking shorebirds in Cass County
Keith Corliss
Late July is not exactly prime time among the network of bird aficionados. In fact, you may even call it a lull of sorts. But standing out amid the humdrum of routine nesting species is one group in particular, the shorebirds. These are the birds that strut around in mudflats and shallow water on longish skinny legs probing the flats with long bills. Most are through nesting high up into Canada and are currently working their way south through the state, often in good numbers. Just last week a Bismarck-area birder reported over 2,000 shorebirds, consisting of 17 different species, at one location on Long Lake National Wildlife Refuge.

Stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan once remarked that he normally doesn’t eat a burger, a bratwurst AND a steak in the same meal, but on the Fourth of July, he just wouldn’t feel like an American if he didn’t. I know I did my part to keep the beef, pork and odds-n-ends-in-a-casing industries going over the holiday weekend, and I’m confident you did too. After all, it is an election year and heaven forbid any of us be lumped into that “unpatriotic” category.
