A Great Day in Two Parts - This Is Part One

Wow… what a great day in the outdoors. Shortly after sunrise I was checking on birds at Sweet Marsh. Photos from that outing are shared here.

Kristy and I then spent the afternoon exploring green spaces in Northeast Iowa. In the process we found a very rare, new to us, wildflower. More on that outing later.

For now I will share bird photos from this morning.
