Hi all,

I squeezed in a little birding this weekend.  Scoped Lakes Monona and 
Mendota from a few spots...

Saturday
1 Common Loon on each lake and I re-found the female LONG-TAILED DUCK 
off Gov. Nelson SP. 
Only 2 Common Mergansers
Various Common species
20-25 Tundra Swans near Gov. Nelson SP

On my way to visit family in Milwaukee on Sunday I made a quick stop at 
the landfill off Hwy 18 east of Madison--most of the gulls had left, but 
a distant dark buteo was perched on a metal structure in the middle of 
the landfill.  The bird was rather distant and time was short (my son 
was fussing) so I didn't have time to study the bird and id it to 
species, but I seem to recall someone reporting a dark red-tail over 
there last winter.  Perhaps it returned?
