Notes from a beautiful place on the planet: part of the driftless area of northwestern Wisconsin at Lake Pepin, where the Mississippi winds beneath limestone bluffs and the night sky is unobscured. Thanks for visiting! ~Uri

Tundra Swans & Song Sparrows!



On this balmy morning I noticed a new melodic voice among the busy chattering chorus of Bluebirds, Robins, Cardinals and Red-winged blackbirds: Song Sparrows, while far above flew a flock of Tundra Swans. There is not a green blade to be seen yet, but those voices mean Spring can't be too far ahead of us now.
