Snapped this Fisher while kayaking on Lake Julia (Three Lakes/Hiles) in early April. Thought it was an otter foraging on the shoreline and then it stood up!

Our beautiful Barred Owl. Her name is Barri and she loves it when we call her in to Feed her a chipmunk or little fish. She has been living here for a long time and has had many offspring. Love listening to her hoot to her mate.

Indigo Bunting and Goldfinch sharing at my feeding outside Madison. I have not seen a Indigo in many years and never this close.

A friend and I went to Buena Vista Wildlife Area for a photo shoot ,and this is the only Snowy Owl that we found.

Black-bellied Whistling-Duck These 3 ducks showed up on my pond in S.E Wisconsin. They stayed and rested about 2 days and left. They are a long way from home. They are a Central American duck and are sometimes found in Texas.

The white deer near Boulder Junction bring the Northwoods of Wisconsin alive with magic. We have been so fortunate this year to witness their magic so many times this year...especially when guests have been visiting!

Early morning on the Chippewa Flowage. Last weekend of the season before we close the cabin, pull out the dock and boat for the winter.

This albino fawn has been on our yard many times this spring. The doe also has a "normal" fawn twin. We have been seeing more and more albino deer in the Oconomowoc area this year.

This owl appeared in our yard on March 1 in Wausaukee, WI in the Town of Wagner. We first saw it in the morning and then at the end of the day I saw it land on our wooden swing set and was fortunate to get this picture. We couldn't decide if it was a Spotted Owl or a Barred Owl but after much deliberation we decided it was a Barred Owl due to our location. They are very similar owls.

A flock of beautiful Cedar Waxwings inhabited this tree to feast on berries. Oct. 27, 2017, East Troy, WI

Spotted a single albino deer just East of Fort Atkinson, WI on 9/15/2017 and stopped in road to take some pictures. The smaller deer kept looking back across the field waiting for it's mother. Soon the mother entered the field and slowly walked to meet her yearling. I sat in my car and enjoyed the show for about 10 minutes and took over 20 pictures of the two. Very cool.

While driving in Jackson Co. WI, twenty relocated elk were seen grazing in a farmers pasture.

Was surprised to see a sow and 3 cubs playing in the water of a small pond on my property near Merrill, WI.

This loon kept us entertained while fishing on Potato Lake in Washburn County, Wis., May 7, 2017.

James Gordon: Navarino, WI Had this Owl land about 10 feet in front of me while hunting. During 2016 gun deer season Near: Park Falls, WI.

While out fishing with my daughter this buck decided to take a swim with a doe all the way across the lake, what a great God moment. We were up in Cumberland, WI. First weekend in November.

This hen turkey and her little babies were roosted in a pine tree just outside my bedroom window. I think there were about 8 little ones but they were huddled quite close together. June 2016, North of Augusta, WI.

This pileated woodpecker stopped for a snack and nearly knocked the bird feeder to the ground because she was so heavy. March 2015, North of Augusta WI.

Rick Kamm of Port Washington Wi came upon this young great horned owl perched on a treestand ladder who was not camera shy while scouting for turkeys.

Turkey Hen with 3 legs and 2 sets of tail feathers. I was hoping to get more photos but the other hens saw me in the window and flew off. This photo was taken in my back yard in Germantown Wisconsin. This is an original photo not photo shopped in any way. photo by Bob Eastman

My son Jack Anderson (17 months old) helping clean out wood duck boxes. March of 2016.

These pictures were taken off the back porch of my house the other day. We had been seeing signs of them in our yard. Finally we got a sighting. This is a pair of them.

I saw this buck 11-20-15. It is the same buck I passed on last year on opening day of gun season and whose picture I sent then.

When it gets cold. Sometime these owls come back to the same tree. Sometime a brown owl but this year it's a grey one.

Lee Fiedler managed to get within 50 feet of these two at Greenfeld park in West Allis Wisconsin.

This buck came in to my fine turkey calling and decoy. He stayed around for about 20 minutes and he was so close I could touch him. I took this photo with my flip phone around Cross Plains Wisconsin on Oct 27.

Leslie Lanthrip of Goodman got this shot after watching the bear dig for ants on a forest road in Goodman, WI.

This photo was taken on the grounds where i work. Since last year this Canada goose has become a sort of companion to this farm goose. This spring i noticed that they had mated and produced a mixed offspring. I thought it was really cool to see this.

Caught this group of Painted Turtles sunning themselves while floating on Boom Lake in Rhinelander WI

I tagged along with my husband during muzzleloader hunting and this little guy came near enough for me to get a picture.

This buck passed near my stand opening day of the 2014 gun deer season. I'm hoping he will be bigger next year and I get more photos of him. I seldom actually shoot one, anymore.

Out for an evening walk the gorgeous sunset was peeking through the corn

A little 8 point buck browsing the back yard for flowers or leaves to eat. Photo shot by 8 yr old off our deck.
