Sometimes when visiting places in Siouxland it’s just nice to stop, sit and watch and listen. Adams Homestead and Nature Preserve is one such place. Even though it is “late in the season” for migratory waterfowl and the chance to see a number of birds, there were still some “locals” hanging out in a water hole at the preserve, taking in the morning and enjoying the day.
I always try to remember that maybe there is a lesson in that.
Pretty Water Fowls 🙂 As kids we used to feed them old dried bread in the winter (late 50’s early 60’s) In the 70’s we found out it was bad for their digestion and they would not fly south in -25° Minnesota, which led to commercial poultry diseases 😢 Thanks Jerry for sharing your SiouxLand image captures 🙂 ~Willy (stay safe around Geese especially during incubation period 😉 )
Willy, Thanks for the comment and nice words. Spring is slowly emerging and the chance to revisit some places without it being so awfully cold. Of course the wind is always here on the “prairie”. jerry
I live in the Siouxland area that encompasses a wide swatch of land in northwest Iowa, northeastern Nebraska and southeastern South Dakota. The people that inhabit this area are generous folk and your basic honest, Midwestern people you like to have as neighbors. I explore the area and share observations, mostly photographic, sometimes through video, and and short text. All images and video are copyrighted material of the author.
