Banding an osprey
In this photo taken Tuesday July 10, 2012, Judy Englund, left, a wildlife specialist for the Three Rivers Park District, affixes a band on the leg of King, a.k.a. "U5," a five-week-old male osprey chick, who is held by district volunteer Michelle Cook, near Wargo Nature Center in Lino Lakes, Minn. on Tuesday July 10, 2012. King was one of a pair of osprey chicks banded Tuesday. They join the growing number of ospreys that have made the Twin Cities area their seasonal home over the past roughly 30 years. Today the birds are at an all-time high in the Twin Cities metro area, with just over 130 known nests in the seven-county region and Wright County.

Heat wave
The skyline rises through haze as one boy pumps water for another to drink from an old-fashioned water pump along Lake Harriet Friday, July 6, 2012 in Minneapolis where temperatures reached into the upper 90s for another day during the heat wave. The National Weather Service said the record-breaking heat that has baked the nation's midsection for several days was slowly moving into the mid-Atlantic states and Northeast. Excessive-heat warnings remained in place Friday for all of Iowa, Indiana and Illinois as well as much of Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Kentucky.
