One Loop Around
Time limitations and a personal agenda meant I allowed myself one paddle around the island on the Wapsipinicon River near our cabin. With a short duration outing, I did not expect to see much, but I did.
One highlight was a spotted sandpiper feeding on the top edge of the dam. This location allowed for an interesting view of the sandpiper.

A second highlight was a green heron that provided plenty of close observations.

While I was on the water, I did shoot other photos too.
