[wisb] Re: American Redstarts-rural Amherst, Portage Co

Wyleen,

You most certainly could have nesting American Redstarts near 
Amherst.  We found them nesting in every county in Wisconsin during 
the Atlas work - denser in numbers away from urban settings, but 
still covering the state.

And now a blatant advertisement for the Atlas book.  Most of your 
questions about nesting/breeding birds in Wisconsin can be answered 
in the Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Wisconsin, published by WSO in 
2006.  It is still available from the WSO Bookstore.  Contact
