Dear Fellow Birders, I would like to take this time to say THANK YOU to all who helped make the 12th Horicon Marsh Bird Festival a huge success! Trip leaders, partners and participants all did a great job. Guess what ?! It was a record year! A record 167 species of birds were spotted during festival events. some of the notables were black neck stilts,marbled godwit,white faced ibis, red necked grebe, greater scaup,horned grebe,orchard oriole,pronothory warbler,king rail and who could leave out the numbers of american bitterns and sora rails. Larry Michael will follow up with a more complete list when he gets a chance. Attendance was also high. I met many of you during the fest and looking forward to meeting many more next year.... Mark your calenders for Mother's day weekend 2010.
