    While Mimi is in Arizona, I am staying in our Mequon Home. Because we spend most of our time at the lake, we don't set up bird feeders and such. So when I wanted to get some pictures of the local wildlife, I needed to look into the neighbors yard. I took my tripod and the camera to the edge of his yard and set up among the branched of a huge Blue spruce. I spent several hours there, and got some nice photos. Following are a sample of what I got.

    The only bird from your photographs that we get here is the Mallard. I would love to see all the other species for myself and would spend hours to just snapping them with my camera too. Thanks for sharing your neighbours garden and wildlife with us Tom. :-D
