Tree swallow
Like a jet fighter, poised for takeoff.
Mourning dove
Today’s edition of “Well, what are YOU looking at?”
Turkey new year
These turkeys seemed a bit wary about the new year. Can’t say I blame them.
Immature bald eagle
My best wildlife sighting last week. I almost didn’t notice it. On an overcast day, the juvenile’s camouflage is very effective.
A flock of seagulls
Migrating loons
Spotted a few common loons on Lake Monona the other day. A good pit stop for them on their annual migration to the lakes of the north.
Return of the sandhills
Swimming in the reeds
Eye of the grackle
Grackles have interesting color attributes. See them in bright sunlight and they appear almost totally black (except for that iridescent head). See them in diffused light, and in addition to blue, you see brown, purple, and even a little green. But what I like the most about grackles is that piercing yellow eye.
