Thanks Mom: Baby brown thrasher eats foot-long garter snake
While out doing bird surveys for the Minnesota DNR, Sparky Stensaas came across a baby brown thrasher trying to swallow a foot-long garter snake.

A few snapshots from today’s demolition. I’m not sure how far they got, I could only stay about 15 minutes.
Soak it in, people.
Deborah S Petersen-Perlman PhD, had been UMD’s Director of the Office of Equal Opportunity, since 1996.
What message does this send about how seriously the University of Minnesota Duluth takes reports of harassment and discrimination?
With complaints being redirected to the main U of M campus, how much longer do you think investigations will take moving forward?
How many students, staff and faculty will feel even more intimidated when considering lodging an official complaint which will automatically go to the statewide office?
I am confident that you already have your ticket for this weekend’s outdoor music festival — Twin Ports Bridge Festival — but wanted y’all to know that there will be yoga happening most of the day (offered by Yoga North and Deep Peace Wellness) — included in the cost of the ticket.
Below is the yoga schedule for the day:
I recently moved out of a property that was managed by Eagle Hill Development. After I moved, I received an invoice that listed what was going to be deducted from my security deposit. However, many of the deductions were for ambiguous things such as “repairs” without any explanation of what the repairs were.
They provided a number that we could call if we had any questions. Unfortunately, after three voicemail messages and six calls over the span of three weeks, I have received no response of any kind whatsoever.
This behavior is very characteristic of what I experienced when I was renting from them. If we had an issue/question of any kind, it took them days and sometimes weeks to respond. My question is: Has anyone else experienced a similar problem with this company?
My patience is wearing very thin at this point and I just want the money they owe me which, as of now, has still not been sent to me (over a month after I moved out). Please help. I am tired of being taken advantage of by these people.

Summer’s long days are the busiest days at Wildwoods. Following on yesterday’s eagle, here is info on other species passing through.
Myself, along with others I know have all had our cats go missing within this past week. Are there others experiencing this horrible phenomena?
I am absolutely bummed about this. Bella has never been away from home for more than a few hours.
She is an orange and white cat, around 8 Ibs. She was last seen June 30, on East Eighth Street between 7th and 8th avenue. She may or may not still be wearing her pink ‘safetycat’ collar with ID.
If you have any information regarding her, or if you even think you may have spotted her, please contact us @: ricer26 @ yahoo.com.
We miss her so much. She is a beloved member of our family.
I hope posting this isn’t out of line, but my wife told me it was OK. If I’m breaking any rules, please let me know so that I can blame her.
I am an experienced tutor looking for students in the Duluth / Superior area. I have extensive experience with special needs children, especially those on the autism spectrum, as well as those students who just need a little extra help.

For such a wee little place, it seems like Duluth has a pretty large footprint. Your thoughts? Comments?
I’ve been enjoying it, but it is definitely a very tech heavy crowd that I’ve seen so far (for obvious reasons, who else would you want to beta test something?). But I’m always game for connecting more with liberal arts, socks-with-sandals, bumper-sticker activist types.
I enjoyed Fourth Fest a lot — the carnival was a treat, and the local food vendors make the fireworks a filling, as well as visually appealing, spectacle.
Ahead, for me, this week:
Downtown Duluth hosts a street festival.
Teatro Zuccone hosts a burlesque.
And there is Taste of Greece.
Two Harbors also hosts a festival, I think.
What would you do? Have I missed the real gem?
Need to test the Twitter feed… I hope it works. Follow PDD on Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/PerfectDuluth
Here are some Fourth Weekend North Shore photos to make the test worthwhile.
