In
Wisconsin is the Horicon Marsh. Not sure why I didn’t know this (sarcasm), but
it’s the largest freshwater cattail marsh in the United States. Anyhow, it was
a great hike and we saw muskrats, martins, geese, ducks, American Goldfinch,
owls, robins, red-winged blackbirds and pelicans. As I was walking the path,
groups of geese would leave the path to get into the water as I approached. One
group was slow and “mama” bird hissed very loudly at me. I turned around a bit
scared since she was almost as tall as I was but going back meant a mile walk.
So I removed by jacket and sort of shook it at her as I quickly passed the
group.
I
liked the art at the visitor center.
There’s
a muskrat in both of these pictures. One was bringing a plant home, the other
is eating.
