This may sound like a slow news day story, but to put it in perspective, our ancestors would have been more concerned about the movements of animals in their environment than just about anything else. These shots are from the last month and were taken by a DNR camera near Duncan Creek north of Chippewa Falls as part of SnapShot Wisconsin. Most of the wildlife on this camera were taken after dark when they are active.

Freight Train Crosses Omaha Bridge
It is a rare site to spot a train on the old Omaha Bridge. This one could be heard coming from the flats before crossing to the South Side and turning to the West.
The South Side of the bridge emerges near the place where Jeffers Street turns northeast to Technology Way. The northernmost span was destroyed by fire in 1993 and rebuilt without the upper trusses.
