I believe this is the American White Pelican.
We saw a pair of these birds (possibly the same pair) each morning in the cove by our cabin.

The Wisconsin & Southern's night job is departing Horicon for Milwaukee, with a consist for everyone on this fine summer afternoon. The night train was always a challenging run. Once you go on duty, the fight against the clock begins. This train will work Iron Ridge, Hartford, Slinger, Germantown, DBR, Granville, North Milwaukee, then head down to Soo Line's Muskego Yard for interchange. After departing Muskego Yard, it's off to Glendale Yard where permission is gotten to switch out and line up the northbound cars in station order. First stop after departing North Milwaukee is Granville to pick up what the C&NW set out for us. Then it's up to DBR (Donges Bay Road) for a run to Rockfield over the FRVR railroad. After this is where the conductor can get a little break until Slinger, where you call the WC dispatcher and try to get out on their busy mainline in order to pickup off of the controlled siding. With this task finished, there is light in the eastern sky, signaling that it has been a long night again. Now it's time to head for Horicon, where the train is usually taken over by the north job at the depot, for switching...and another day begins on the WSOR.
Wisconsin Central's map unit GP40-2 3026 and Operation Lifesaver SD45 7525 had Wisconsin and Southern's E-units in tow as they rolled through Theresa Station on WC's Chicago Subdivision in 2000.
The WC and the WSOR were the two best things about railroading in Wisconsin. At the time, they both were railfan friendly and very interesting.
All of that soon changed with Canadian National and Watco taking over.

It's just a locked gate behind a riverfront shanty, but I thought it looked cool in the lighting of the moment. Doesn't it look tike there's a group of snow creatures on the other side?
Built in 1895, this Gothic Revival-style building was built for the Conklin family, and features a red brick exterior, bonnet roof with exposed rafter tails, blind gothic arches, rusticated stone sills and lintels, first floor retail storefronts with decorative cornices, one-over-one and casement replacement windows, a stone base and recessed brick panels around many of the second floor windows. The building is a contributing structure in the State Street Historic District, listed on the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places.
i finally took down the yarn and skewer grid that helped me plot the garden. i can't believe since this picture last week how much the garden has grown! i'll upload new pix shortly.
We were out early in the morning with the hope of seeing some eagles feeding. While we did see some, they were more interested in sleeping. Mother nature did not fail though, the beautiful steam coming off of the Wisconsin River.

Milwaukee, WI (Milwaukee County)
Milwaukee is the largest city in the state of Wisconsin and the fifth-largest city in the Midwestern United States. The seat of Milwaukee County, the city is located on Lake Michigan's southwestern shore and was incorporated in 1846. As of the U.S. Census Bureau's July 1, 2019 estimate, Milwaukee had a population of 590,157, making it the 31st largest city in the United States and the fourth-largest city situated along one of the Great Lakes.
The first large wave of settlement to the areas that would later become Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee began in 1835, following removal of the tribes in the Council of Three Fires. Early that year it became known that Juneau and Kilbourn intended to lay out competing town-sites. By the year's end both had purchased their lands from the government and made their first sales. There were perhaps 100 new settlers in this year, mostly from New England and other Eastern states. On September 17, 1835, the first election was held in Milwaukee; the number of votes cast was 39.
