Went to Pleasant Valley Conservancy near Black Earth this morning. Only had a
little time to go look but very nice day and a fair amount of activity there.
After not hearing or seeing red-headed woodpeckers there all summer, today was
the opposite. At one point up on the hill there were what seemed like at least
5 around me. Very chatty and vocal at times and doing their "screams." Did
not see any juveniles for sure, but I'm guessing they were there. Other 4
species (D, H, RB and flicker) of woodpeckers there too.
Also many pink legged/pink billed sparrows there - I assume field sparrows.
Up on top near where the prairie up there begins and the savannah/woods ends
there was some warbler and other activity.
This one looks to me like orange crowned warbler but not the best shot so not
sure.

This one I am not sure. No obvious eye ring.

Any thoughts?
Finally at one point I thought I heard a red-breasted nuthatch. Has anyone
seen any in Dane Co. lately?
Also red-tailed hawk, pewees, eastern bluebirds, sandhill cranes (across the
road), and I think I saw a RE vireo.
