Five toms and a hen impeding my ability to get to work on time! 😉

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 deer found a cool place standing in the Hemlock Creek in Wood Co.

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.

I spotting my first hummingbird of the season! ~ Price County, Wisconsin.

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.

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.

My happy mushroom

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.

White Deer-Richland County

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.

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.

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
