Horicon Marsh April 2008

The US Fish and Wildlife Service opened Old Marsh Rd for one weekend only to celebrate Earth Day. A rare event during the migration and one I could not pass on. I walked from Point Rd to the auto route and back via Marsh rd on a perfect day both weather and wildlife wise. Here are some of nature's friends I encountered along the way...

Brian - you've captured all the grace and beauty of these colorful creatures. The terns are so spectacular in form and flight - it would appear their movements are choreographed. Thank you for sharing your exceptional photos w/bird lovers who couldn't be there! Elaine, FDL County
