Found this northern shoveler at Horicon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge on Wednesday. Right off the road on 49 east of Waupun. It's a new bird for me.

Wednesday was also fun as I got to talk photography with a bunch of enthusiastic third graders at Lodi Elementary School (thanks Sherry!) and delivered some engagement pictures. Hopefully I inspired a few of them. I think they had fun. :)

Things are kind of winding down here. I have gotten a chance a few time to get out and do some birding. Have made a few new images... Tomorrow I am heading to Horicon to hopefully find some neat stuff.
