"We have a Raven nest at Lucerne just east of the shop! The youngsters are pretty big already. One was out on a branch beside the nest perched like a gangly teenager at lunch time:-) Sandhill Cranes and Canada Geese nesting on the back pond, Coopers hawks nesting across the drive from the office and a woodcock nesting over by our house, Bluebirds are nesting in the box the Madison Audubon Camp folks placed by the dining hall last year. Spring is in the air. Heard a Red-headed Woodpecker last week North of the horse pasture along the horse trail. Lots of birds back; Brown Thrasher, Eastern Towhee, yellow-rumped Warbelers, Chipping Sparrows, Song Sparrows, Tree Swallows, well the list goes on:-) Sadly the loon moved on early this year with the early spring." Note: This bird report was sent to me this week by Chip, camp manager at Lake Lucerne Camp and Retreat Center near Wautoma where we hold the annual Madison Audubon Birding Camp on Memorial Day Weekend.
