New Photos from my midsummer vacation in Northeastern Iowa…
I hiked from the river to the bluff at Pikes Peak State Park. The photo above shows the Wisconsin River as it meets the Mississippi.
This was a good year for birds! We were entertained by Cedar Waxwings flying back and forth hunting insects…
White Pelicans were in abundance…
I have heard but never seen the Eastern Wood-Pewee…
Finally there was this little Downy Woodpecker by the side of the road feeding on Mullein seeds. The first day I saw him I only had my iPhone. I got some pictures but nothing great. The next day I was prepared and there he was, ready for his photoshoot…
Little guy let me stand ten feet away with no apparent concern!
