Everybody has to start somewhere

We headed back to Chicago today, but we made three stops first: Fayette State Park, the Mead Paper Company’s Auto Tour, and the Nahma Marsh Trail. Nothing at Fayette, Nahma was a decrepit dump, and so the Mead corporation’s ill-kept trail provided the only thrill: a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. Not worthy of a post, really, except I wanted to show this sign, which we saw on our way south to Menomonee. That’s worth a bird or two, so I hereby declare today a success.
