On Sunday my dad and I found 2 GRASSHOPPER SPARROWS in the Benoit area
grasslands of Bayfield County. Not noteworthy for most of you but these were
my first in the county and the first documented in the Chequamegon Bay area in
several decades. A few documentation images digicoped at 60x can be found at

Also noteworthy in the grasslands were 24 singing male DICKCISSELS and good
numbers of both EASTERN and WESTERN MEADOWLARKS. Unfortunately most of the hay
fields hosting these birds have been or are being cut. This continues to be
one of the biggest threats to grassland birds here in far northern Wisconsin.
