As I drove over to the Bog yesterday morning (fun time birding), in the pre-dawn light I remarked to myself … wow … the Lutheran Church in Canyon on hwy #53 as you reach the Bog is a holiday card in and of itself. On the way home I stopped and took a photo when the sun was out!

While the GGO’s were only barely cooperative, I had a great time with the post storm fantastic sun, flocked now on trees and other kinds of birds!

Evening Grosbeaks early yesterday morning at the Welcome Center

Ring-Necked Pheasants a bit south of Meadowlands (observe the photos closely … the number of pheasants in each image is “2, 3 and 3”)
