A LITTLE BOY WINS A CONTEST...

Eighty years ago a little nine year old boy won a prize for best costume.  That little boy was 89 years old Nov. 22.  He is my Uncle Fred and my Dad, Ed's twin brother.

A NEW BIRD!!!!....

THE AMERICAN BITTERN
I don't live in South Dakota, but you must see the pace at which this bird moves, she recently spent a few days on our creek, as she was migrating southward, looking for a winter retreat!



Look closely to see the American Bittern!  Well-camouflaged, getting its picture proved to be quite a challenge, so I have posted just below this picture a web photo of the American Bittern.
