First, the birding content: At Stewart County Patk (Dane) this
morning, I saw a couple of interesting things: a mother Wild Turkey
shepherding her young (turklets?) away from the trail to safety. I
also saw a one Scarlet Tanager chasing another through the trees. One
of the Tanagers was decidedly reddish-orange rather than bright red -
much like the orange variant pictured in Sibley.
OK, orchids: Showy Orchis isn't exactly rare in Wisconsin, but all
orchids are special. You can see its range at :

I've seen several in Stewart County Park. In fact, I just discovered
another one this morning while pulling Garlic Mustard. Here's a photo
from a week ago:
