Just like Peter Fissel, we had no luck with the painted bunting in the Green Lake area on Sunday morning. Unlike Peter, we spent an hour wandering the Mascoutin Valley trail (between Berlin & Ripon), enjoying the warming day and the relatively bug-less hike. Along with a black-crowned night heron, green heron, black tern, sandhill cranes and clay colored sparrows, the white faced ibis made an appearance. The picnic table alongside the trail made for a great vantage point for us as the ibis moved in and out of the grasses along the back edge of the water to the south of the table. https://flic.kr/p/o5fagu Kerry Sehloff NE Fond du Lac Co 'the holy land' #################### You received this email because you are subscribed to the Wisconsin Birding Network (Wisbirdn).
