Doe whitetail deer on a foggy, fall morning. I love foggy mornings to try and get captures like this. #deer #nature #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #wildlife #wisconsin

Juvenile red-tailed hawk, I wish it luck catching something to eat now that it's on its own. #birds #nature #wildlife #photography #birdoftheday #wisconsin #blue

Male ruby-throated hummingbird. This large patch of jewelweed is turning out to be a great place to see a few hummingbirds competing for nectar. #birds #birdoftheday #hummingbird #birdphotography #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #wisconsin

Wilson's snipe and the American woodcock have the same comical, bobbing walk. This is a Wilson's snipe. #birds #birdphotography #wetlands #nature #naturephotography #birdoftheday #wisconsin

A gathering of great egrets, great blue herons and American white pelicans at Horicon Marsh. A large number of pelicans were group feeding while egrets and herons worked the edges hoping to catch a leftover fish or frog. #birds #wetlands #birdphotography #wisconsin #photography

In true form, this American bittern poses with its neck stretched, beak pointing toward the sky. This one was easy to spot among the green reeds, in the brown spring or fall reeds I may have missed it. #birds #birdphotography #birdwatching #nature #naturelovers #birdoftheday #wetlands #wisconsin

There were at least two ruby-throated hummingbirds competing for the nectar within these native cardinal flowers that are growing at a local wetland area. #birds #hummingbird #birdoftheday #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #wisconsin

Adult bald eagle perched on what remains of a tree on the edge of the marsh. I call this the raptor tree, it's a favorite perch for eagles, falcons and hawks as they scan for potential prey. #birds #birdofprey #eagle #birdphotography #birdoftheday #wisconsin #naturephotography
