Never have the right lens at the right time! Visited Horicon Marsh near my old home town during the first week in October. Was really hoping to get a couple more spider web shots like last year. Not a spider to be seen! But these wedges of birds kept coming out of the fog, which I largely ignored. If you've seen one goose, you've essentually seen a million. But then sort of noticed that they were not making goose noises, and were flying kind of strangely. Turns out they were American White Pelicans. Then, looking at the scans tonight, I find some sort of white egret waiting on the water. http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/caer/ce/eek/critter/bird/pelican.htm
