Greetings folks ---
Got in from an appointment just a moment ago, and while out, I stopped
at our Red Arrow Park by the west central part of town. I was somewhat stunned
to observe about 30 robins feeding in the oak leaves and some were actually
singing !! Don't worry, I looked them over carefully. No varied thrushes,
or rufous-backs or Aztec thrushes. (HA, on that last one). One Robin did look
quite interesting, quite dark, prominent eye-ring, deep rusty breast.
As far as diving ducks go, hardly anything to speak of, except for a small
flock of scaup this a.m. flying past the Murdock site. A pair of cormorants
were present at the south end of Miller's Bay. Gulls are getting quite numerous
again, watching them closely. Was nice to see a shoveler yesterday at Campbell
Creek, among mallards, some blacks and over 100 geese. No cacklers were found.
So much for now, reporting from Oshkosh,
Paul Bruce, Winnebago Co.
