A group of birders from Madisonish and Milwaukee area (Quentin
Yoerger, Ray Potter, Charles Naeseth, Jim and Sharon Schwartz, Tom
Prestby, Peter Bridge and myself) ventured out for our annual
northwoods birding trip. We began the day in the Kesheena reservation
(Menominee Cty) to sadly discover the blue house on 55 was not the
feeding station it had been in past years with only a few feeders
present that were EMPTY. We did have 2 BARRED OWLS along the stretch
of 55 between Wild Wolf Inn and the blue house. We worked our way
north on 55 to HWY 32 in Crandon up to Argonne where we found our
first target bird of the day, BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS (30). Following
Argonne we worked the forest roads in Forest Cty where we located
several other target species GRAY JAYS on Pine River Rd at the river
crossing and at least two separate BOREAL CHICKADEES along Shelter
Valley Rd as well as a flock of 10 WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS. So far an
enjoyable trip with more to come tomorrow as we bird Vilas and ?
Forest counties and likely a stop at Buena Vista Grasslands on the way
back south.
Good Birding and Good Company,
Cynthia Bridge
Fort Atkinson, Jefferson county
