I went to the Horicon Marsh to look for birds. We found many, including this Red-Winged Blackbird, which is looking for something among the cattail fluff. It probably isn't seeds, since they are so tiny, I can't imagine it is worth the calorie expenditure. #horiconmarsh #birds #Wisconsin

Ducks at sunrise

Ducks at sunrise

Ducks paraded their silhouettes through the marsh at Horicon National Wildlife Refuge. Such a beautiful sunrise on Thursday. I wonder if the ducks enjoyed it too? #ducks #horiconnationalwildliferefuge #horiconmarsh

Two faraway Great Egrets at Horicon Marsh in Wisconsin. The marsh waters are riddled with old hardwood stumps and lined by deep reed beds. There is a nice stand of trees behind the reeds. This is the far shore of the marsh at one water feature on the Auto Tour.

Another of Horicon Marsh, in Wisconsin. Every time that I return home from there and view my photos, it gives me a deeper appreciation for it's size and beauty. Two Great Egrets are at the far shore.

A secluded water feature at a large marsh. This view is about 1/4 mile away on a hilly overlook. Reeds are growing all around the marsh water and there is a treeline behind the water.

The image shows a swampy location at a large marsh. There are thriving trees and snags (dead trees) near calm marsh waters. Tree swallows love to hang oput here and catch bugs.

Two large birds passing overhead above the trees. The birds are in silhouette. As they fly, their long necks, head, legs, and feet are perfectly straight while they flap their wings and make glorious loud calls in flight.

Well, birthday week is over and it's almost time to start the reality of a new week. Hope everyone has a wonderful new week. Here's two Sandhill Cranes flying over #HoriconMarsh as they are passing over the trees. Mostly a #silhouette image.

The Great Egrets hang out socializing and fishing quite a distance from humans usually at this water feature, but sometimes the photographer gets lucky and they come closer.

A couple of turtle sunning on a log near the Great Egrets. It's lovely to see how all the species share the beautiful habitat they have there.

This shot was far away, but I was being watched at Horicon. A fawn, still with it's spots looking down the auto tour road. Then poof, only a glimpse at the tail.

A view of Horicon Marsh, a 30K acre marsh in Wisconsin. It's a beautiful habitat for all wildlife in the area. We have had so much steady rain, things are really lush.

Any #LandscapePhotographers in the house? This kit - a #Canon5DIV and 16-35/2.8 III would make some DARN NICE PHOTOS! Maybe go on a waterfall-tour around northern Wisconsin and the UP? Or maybe up #DodgeCounty and see the #HoriconMarsh and #HoriconLedge? GOOD TIMES, I tell you! #LandscapePhotography

A pair of soras in a marsh. The one of the left has its wings spread and appears to be jumping or flying a short distance from the water over to a small branch. There is a depression in the water and a splash of water coming up from where it took off. The other one is standing over to the right looking at the other one. The birds are grey underneath and brown on top with short bright yellow bills and a black mark between the bill and eye. They are in a marsh with a lot of and marsh grasses.

We stopped at Horicon Marsh on our way home.

My partner thinks this may have been a sandhill crane, but it's hard to tell.

A nice couple offered to take our pic as well.
