Hi all,
I made several stops in N. Dane and S. Columbia Counties today. My best
bird was a male SMITH'S LONGSPUR present in a flock of approximately 100
longspurs that repeatedly flew over me as I was scoping shorebirds at
the Harvey/Wangsness Road (Columbia Co.) mudflats. I saw the bird in
flight and was able to pick out the conspicuous white lesser coverts on
the bird as it flew past. I spotted this this bird a couple times as it
flew over. Unfortunately I could not find it in my scope when the flock
would land in distant fields.
Other notable birds today...
A HUDSONIAN GODWIT was spotted from Kampen Road while looking at the
north end of Goose Pond. Also present were a pair of sharp-looking
breeding plumaged STILT SANDPIPERS and 3 WILSON'S PHALAROPES.

include:
