Marsh Madness in Horicon


I took the day off in recognition of my 52nd birthday and with cameras in hand, I spent a few hours in and near the Horicon Marsh State Wildlife area (Wisconsin). 

While the marsh was still frozen and covered with snow, geese where already stopping over, and a number of sandhill cranes were seen (and heard) well overhead on their way north.  In a small wooded area, I found this cardinal signing back and forth with another one.  I also spotted a few redtail hawks and a red-bellied woodpecker, and heard my first robin this year.
