Horicon Marsh Bird Festival

This weekend was the Horicon Marsh Bird Festival. G & I went up on Saturday with some friends and did a pontoon ride into the marsh as well as a tour around it. It was overcast and cool; we saw a lot more birders than birds. At the education center we sat in on a presentation about raptors, which was great because we got to see kestrels, a barred owl, a falcon and a snowy owl up close.
