Birds and Bikes

Bridge along Great River Trail in WisconsinSunday was another great day for a bicycling ride. So I headed east across The River into Wisconsin to do 31 miles (roundtrip) on the Great River Trail.

It was a day for the normal, Lily pads along Great River Trail in Wisconsin

but special birds seemed to be around. Familiar birds, of course...

But others as well including this "baby" Sandhill Crane

And Ma & Pa Crane trying to find him.

And if you knew where to look, maybe even a turtle sunning on a log.

Or on the far right center of this picture:

with his head just visible in the center circle of the wave.
