Happy New Year!


Stopped at the refuge sign after my hike!

Its January 1st and I managed to get out and about for some exploring. I started at Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge. Since it was pretty early in the day, I had the trails to myself. Even though it was bitterly cold (actual temperatures just about zero, never mind the windchill) it felt great to be out. After that I drove around some of the back roads and managed to find a good number of raptors - a ton of bald eagles and red-tailed hawks with a coopers hawk thrown in. All in all a great way to start the new year!

Found a couple fish!

Out on the trails!
