Stan: Sadly, I have no idea what variant they might be. Very tart and slightly sweet and we use them for jam.

BrentD: Riverbank Grape, eh? Thank you for that. Makes shockingly good grape jam. Unlike any other grape jam I've ever had. IMGUR is problematic tonight or I'd upload a shot of a handful of those berries you asked about. Another popular grouse food here is Grey dogwood, red stems on a viburnum-like bush with pearl-white berries. Finally...got it. I think the bigger multi-hue ones are the rosehips. We've never used the hawthornes before but they look so-similar to the rose-hips. I see both in bird crops here. Pretty, eh?

As Craig mentioned, your pics always put us right there. Thanks Lloyd.

James: Thank you, and to Craig also. I wanted to ask you how the Canadian side of the Lake-of-the-Woods faired in all the flooding? Probably walked my last trail last night. Only flushed 1 bird and spent the rest of the afternoon dodging a number of other sports fans. Things are changing up here, more people and less lonely places than when I first ventured out to this locale some 20-plus years ago. Oh well....pulled the boat yesterday and have a few chores to do today before I depart tomorrow (mostly winterization and administrivia). It's looking like the house will be allright (somewhat worse for wear but still habitable) but... all the outbuildings are looking very dilapidated. Hauled lots of stuff to the dump and hit everything with Clorox (to stop the cryptosporidium and any black slime mold) so....we'll see how it all looks next spring. I'm driving my old Ford pickup truck back to Colorado for an overhaul and perhaps for a re-evaluation of it's next mission. My other hunting/utility vehicle up here (an '02 Trooper) is seemingly on it's last legs (transmission issues). It's always something, eh? That darn bird...

Lloyd, Those look like rose hips. I do not think I have pics of what I found in their crops last week, but I'll look tomorrow. There were a lot of rose hips available though. Later this fall or winter,I imagine they will be eaten.
FWIW I have a friend with a home on the Canadian side of LOTW. He was hit with a tremendous windstorm and every building on the island, from boathouse to shed took significant damage, except the outhouse.
Went up to Duluth and back today. 78 degrees up there, but snow expected on Friday.

Vaya con Dios Amigo. Safe travels. Perhaps we can get together again at Whittington in late fall to share our hunting stories. Mark

I'll never get used to this... becoming this. Vary hard to equate the two. It'll take me a few days to equilibrate. Neither world seems real when you're in the other.
