Unofficial walk like a penguin day here along the #uppermississippiriver. A good snow dump almost distracts one from the horrors they are doing to our brothers and sisters.

Swan song for the avian visitors along the River. They will soon descend in large flocks with thousands of voices telling the latest news. Not quite a song but certainly a racket.

Trempealeau Mountain along the Mississippi River. Pool A is a favorite stop for migrating birds. Saw pelicans, comorants, egret, and terns/gulls.

Evening bike ride at the Trempealeau Wildlife Refuge. The smoke wasn't too bad. Saw an opossum, twice.
Summer is racing, best try to catch it if you can.

If you're not thinking about pelicans today, you are distracted.

What I saw across the River.

Wicked wind today, so no hiking about for me.
Fresh off the drawing board.

Having the Mississippi River visible from my studio window always gives me something to see.
Today it had a chop that made it look like it was going upstream (left to right) and this small study from a couple of years ago has that feel.
