Canada Goose: creche of 17 young with two adults. Probably represented at least
two separate broods, as several were much larger than the others.
Killdeer: two adults very anxious & deceptive in their behaviors as they were
trying to conceal four Killdeer chicks.
Upland Sandpiper--------1 appeared at the beach & on the road just outside the
Airport property & chain link fence. UPSA have nested regularly inside the
airport fence/property since at least 1965. Over the years, airport mowing
efforts have increased.
Pectoral Sandpiper------1 on the Airport Beach
Red-necked Phalarope----1 (F) According to my records, I have seen a RNPH near
LaCrosse two times previously: 1978, May 15 at Goose Island, 3F & 1M (31 years
ago to the day), and 1973, Sept. 30 (nearly 36 years ago) at the Genoa Fish
Hatchery along Hwy 35 south of Genoa, WI, 1 bird, no sex noted.
