Tried to get a nice ice crystal shot from the hard frost overnight and failed. So you get this dried wildflower instead.

I was out chasing this Ring Billed Gull for a half hour a week or so ago and caught this backlit shot of it diving.

Our local Buck has been walking with a light limp the last few days, but he's still making the rounds.

A Mallard from this evening's walk. It's getting quiet out there with most birds migrated away.

Green Heron wondering if it made a mistake landing so close to the camera...it did and flew away seconds after this.

While I was down in the Minnesota River Valley yesterday I saw my second Albino Squirrel of the year!

I saw around 30 Trumpeter Swans this morning, but most were far away in the Minnesota River Valley. Luckily a pair flew somewhat close to me for this shot.
