Late this past week I was fortunate to spend a little bit of time in Dundy and Chase Counties in the southwest corner of the state. This is a terrific part of Nebraska. Technically, it is not a forgotten corner, I am merely lamenting that I do not visit this area as much as I would like. I enjoyed seeing this area again and on the longest day of the year no less. More to the point, I enjoyed experiencing the local birdlife. Below, a few highlight photos.
