This is the hotline report for the Madison Audubon Society for
Wednesday, December 30, 2009.
During the Sauk City CBC which covers Arena, birders talked to a
resident on Williams Street who had YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRDS for about
two weeks prior to 12/26. It was not refound on the 26th, but may
still be in the area.
As of December 29th there have been multiple reports of the BARROWS
GOLDENEYE off the tip of Picnic Point. Lake Mendota was freezing,
and there was little open water when reported Tuesday.
Also on Picnic Point, BROWN CREEPERS and an EASTERN SCREECH OWL were
reported. The latter was perched in the entrance of a Wood Duck Box
that is near the bathrooms and beach area on Picnic Point.
*********************************************
The next Madison Audubon field trip is: Tuesday, January 1: New Year's
Sunrise at Faville Grove Marsh
Our annual New Year's Day sunrise field trip at Faville Grove
Sanctuary will meet at Buddy's Place, the old farmstead at N7710 Hwy
89, at 6:55 am. If there is good snow and you have snowshoes, bring
them along. Otherwise, sturdy boots for uneven terrain will do. From
I-94, take the Lake Mills/Waterloo exit and go north on Hwy 89 about
2.5 miles. The driveway is on the right immediately past North Shore
Road, which intersects from the left. We will meander through the
prairie in the pre-dawn light to arrive at the marsh overlook in time
for sunrise, and then spend the early morning exploring the Faville
Grove Marsh and surrounding uplands. Volunteer sanctuary managers
David Musolf and Roger Packard will lead the trip.
