For anyone who was on the trail today, for the record, I was not having a seizure. I was trying my best at getting this little guy. Talk about small and quick!

Ruby Crowned Kinglet:

Nice shots Ken. You done good on the Ruby-crowned Crackrabbit. Your Thrush is a Hermit Thrush.

Chuck

Chain O Lakes State Park, right on the border of Illinois/Wisconsin. There are a lot of Sand Hills this year.

Thank you - The crane really took me by surprise and landed pretty close to me. Hate the fact that it was cloudy - sunny days are a rarity this year.
