Hi. Hope you are all doing well! Just popping in for a sec. As I mentioned, busy with life until mid-Nov or early Dec. I am just flat out busy and birding and soc media isn't really happening for me ATM. I wanted to thank my new followers. Your interest in nature and birds is much appreciated!

For sure. They are usually just annoyed by them, but they do look out for not getting jabbed in the neck or face with those pointy little beaks.

Saw a neat exoskeleton at Trempealeau. I think it may have been a dragonfly exoskeleton? There are many undisturbed areas to explore there. #dragonfly

I think it was a 13-liner. He stayed pretty buried in his hole if I was anywhere close, so a little hard to easily confirm. It was adorable! Outside the visitor area was a huge beautiful new deck right on the river. He kept track of everyone between the visitor ctr and the deck.
