With things settling down, I made a run to Horicon Marsh mid-morning. The pump
house pond is down about 80-90%, making for some good shorebird habitat. Nine
species were present with the 10th, about 30 Wilson's Snipe that flew up west
of the historic sign. The nine species included single Black-bellied and Am
Golden Plovers, 30 Killdeer, 4 Greater and 1 Lesser Yellowlegs, 100 Dunlins, 10
Pectoral and 2 Semi. Sandpipers. and 130 Long-billed Dowitchers. About 10
Tundra Swans were present with 9 Trumpeter Swans along 49 and the Auto Tour
ponds. A Common Gallinule was in the pond across from the historic sign. 14
duck species were tallied along 49 and the first and last ponds on the Auto
Tour.
It felt good to be out birding again!
