As we move to our campsite near Horicon Marsh NWR for the next 4 nights, we do not know whether or not we will have cell or internet coverage so we may be out of touch until Tuesday. Hope not but ....
Male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
The only woodpecker in the Eastern U.S. that is completely migratory.
Female Orchard Oriole
This oriole is the smallest North American oriole.
Male Orchard Oriole
Roseate Skimmer Dragonfly
These dragonflies are distinguished by their lavender thorax and pinkish abdomen.
Large-flowered Trillium
Blue-headed Vireo (a new trip bird for us today)
The only vireo within its range that makes extensive use of coniferous forests, although it also occupies deciduous habitats as well.
Red-eyed Vireo
The males are among the most persistent singers of all birds and have been recorded singing more than 10,000 songs a day in spring. The song is beautiful to hear as we walk through the forests.
Chestnut-sided Warbler
This beautiful warbler sings two song types: one is accented at the end, the other is not. The first (and the one he was singing this morning which alerted us to his location) is used before the arrival of the females and in the early nesting cycle. The second is used while raising young
For kids in the park
Hmmm!
It gets cold up here in northern Wisconsin on Lake Superior.
