Seeing Sandhill cranes in Wisconsin is one of my favorite wildlife experiences, especially when they’re congregating in preparation for migration to warmer areas to south.

Fans don’t often think about professional athletes as human beings who have bad days and good days, or trials and tribulations in life, in the same way that they do.

I drove an hour and a half to Burlington, Wis. to choose my first dog from a handful of retired racers awaiting to be adopted at a kennel used by Wisconsin’s chapter of the Greyhound Pets of America.
