This past weekend my wife and I drove down to Milwaukee to visit my son and his fiancee. A great time was had by all, and of course each morning I was out at the crack of dawn keeping up my 365 bird project. On Sunday, I was treated to a Northern Shrike … a first for me and a rare site. Saturday birds were scarce given the autumn storm … just a black-capped chickadee.
