West of the Midwest Adventure August 2025

In August, I went on a two-week adventure around the West of the Midwest! I made stops in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri! And of course, I birded along the way! I was thrilled to get a lifer - the Whooping Crane - at Horicon Marsh in Wisconsin! I was in awe of the sights on the North Shore of Minnesota! And I was proud of myself for rustic camping solo for two nights at Isle Royale!
