Artistic Treasures

Common Gallinule
I was treated to a variety of artistic treasures at the Horicon Marsh today. This Common Gallinule looks like his beak has been carved from exotic wood and a Master Painter added white brush strokes of paint as a final touch to this masterpiece.

Tree Swallow
Feathers of the Tree Swallow look metallic in the sunlight. His black eye patch adds a touch of mystery.

Juvenile American Coot
The American Coot chicks are growing up! I think they look most beautiful at this stage in their development.

Trumpeter Swan
When this Trumpeter Swan walked through the water, the ducks scooted off, reminiscent of the parting of the Red Sea.

Trumpeter Swan Performing Neck Exercises
I wonder if swans get sore necks?

Female Wood Duck
Jewel toned feathers add to this female Wood Duck’s beauty.
