I've been taking a few days to travel to Siren.
At the Janesville arboretum, there was what I believe to be a wood thrush
sitting on a nest about 4.5 feet off the ground, in plain sight and across from
several benches while a few hikers passed by and I took dozens of photos. I
also watched a robin build a nest and two BC chickadees removing beaks full of
wood shavings from their nest in a dead tree.
The UW arboretum had a good variety of birds, including indigo bunting,
cardinal, orioles, fly by a path with gurgling water emptying into a waterway.
Goose Island in LaCrosse was slow until I stopped at one of the picnic areas
and found a YB sapsucker nest in a dead tree about 8 feet off the ground.
And in Trempeauleau, I do believe I saw one of the western grebes. It was at
least 75-100 yards off shore (along the dike to the island), but a digital
photo that I blew up on the camera screen certainly looks like the w. grebe in
my field book.
I'm now in Spooner and will visit a few spots here this afternoon before
heading to Siren.
Looking forward to a few good days of birding with the experts on Thu-Sun.
