Early migration arrivals, trumpeter swans circling over the ice on Lake Winnebago, they landed on the ice near a large number of ducks and geese but didn't stay long.

I watched this male kestrel as it flew over a roadside ditch, dropped down, and flew up, and perched on a utility line with a vole that it caught.

Red-breasted merganser, this was a larger gizzard shad that he caught, it took a couple minutes but he managed to swallow it.

Barn swallows, they're like miniature birds of prey as they catch insects on the surface of the water and in the air.

Sora, they may not be rare but they are often heard and not seen.
