[wisb] Devil's Lake Carolina Wrens - Sauk County

They're baaaaack!  On Sunday I went to the park to search for possible 
Solitaire's on the Balanced Rock trail, but it was pretty windy and I thought I 
might have a difficult time hearing/seeing them if present.  So instead, I went 
to the west side of the lake along the Tumbled Rocks Trail and walked in the 
sun!  The area by the west side boat launch was hopping with a many A. ROBINS, 
CEDAR WAXWINGS, a WINTER WREN, N. FLICKERS, PILEATED's calling and flying from 
the nearby bluffs, BELTED KINGFISHER, and GOLDEN-CR KINGLETS.  As I approached 
the homes to the north, it got really quiet (it doesn't seem like anyone is 
feeding the birds).  As I walked along, I looked out at the lake, watched the 
COOTS, and saw several RUDDY DUCKs.  About half-way along the trail is a bench 
and as you look ahead of you into the trees that line the path you will see 
some orangeish berries (mountain ash?), keep going and hang around in the area 
with the "berry trees" (there will even be some crushed on the pavement below 
your feet).  This is the area where the (2) CAROLINA WRENS were heard and seen.
 
Happy hunting!
