Protocol: Traveling 1 Miles 90 Minutes Observers: 54 All birds reported? Yes Comments: This is the every Wed afternoon Sherman Nature Explorers walk in Warner Park with UW student mentors led by Anke Keuser assisted by Trish O'Kane and MSCR, Wild Warner and Madison Audubon mentors. Nelson Institute head Paul Robbins donned a halloween outfit and joined 42 kids in a scavenger hunt for candy hidden next to ash trees and sumacs, pumpkin decorating and other halloween activities, and the sharing circle at the gathering oak. The secret challenge 'giant white ghost birds' (two White Pelicans seen for the first time on Warner Park lagoon last Sun) were absent today, but Redtails were active and the crisp sunny day was enjoyed by all. 7 Canada Goose 6 Mallard 4 Pied-billed Grebe 1 Cooper's Hawk 3 Red-tailed Hawk 5 Ring-billed Gull 1 Mourning Dove 1 Red-bellied Woodpecker 1 Downy Woodpecker 2 Blue Jay 2 American Crow 2 Black-capped Chickadee 1 Eastern Bluebird 8 American Robin 2 Gray Catbird 5 Cedar Waxwing 3 White-crowned Sparrow 5 Dark-eyed Junco 2 Northern Cardinal 3 Common Grackle 2 American Goldfinch Paul Noeldner, Maple Bluff / \ (:>) / \ #################### You received this email because you are subscribed to the Wisconsin Birding Network (Wisbirdn).
