As the Midwest attempts to make up its mind on the season, I have been making many little ventures to birdwatch. In the past, I haven't dedicated much time to winter birding--something I am working to change in 2020-2021--so many common winter birds are lifers, such as the snow bunting and lapland longspur.
Right after I took an unintended dip into the Bois de Sioux, the above yellowlegs (along with a conspecific fellow) flew over to investigate.
