| Cormorant on muskrat house at wildlife refuge. This bird is also referred to as a "snake bird" due to its appearance when in the water - only its head and neck are seen; it does not float like a duck or goose. |

| Taking flight, the Cormorant appears to 'run' across the surface until it gains "air speed". |

| This Robin includes my yard in its territory. When seen hopping along in the grass, it always seems to find a worm. Here it sits momentarily in my Burr Oak tree. |

| A sharp eye might be able to make out the bridge at the end of town, curving over the historic Blue River. Marysville receives a lot of support from its ag community. It appears to be one of the most thriving 'small towns' I have visited. |

| Somewhere later that day along a Kansas or Nebraska road I took this picture. The Meadowlarks seem to have claimed their fence posts and areas of meadow. Their song, which can be heard through the end of the summer, is especially welcome in the Spring. "When are you going to plant the wheat?" Having come from a farm, I particularly love the 'song of the lark', and the Meadowlark is my favorite of all birds for that reason. |
