I was over in Franklin, WI this afternoon at 68th and Oakwood Road watching
a farm field that is still flooded from the over flowing Root River. I was
watching a half dozen Killdeer, a couple Mallards, and possibly a Lesser
Yellow Legs through my 8x30 binoculars when what appeared to be a shorebird
flew across my field of vision. When it pulled up to land, it's back was
unmistakeably yellow. The distance from the road is probably 200 meters, so
the view isn't the best, but it appeared to be about the size of a Killdeer
or Sandpiper rather than something like a Yellow Rumped Warber.
Any who, just thought I'd pass it along as an interesting place to watch
after all this rain. The water seems rather deep, so the flood will
probably last a day or two. FWIW, the sod farms in Wind Lake are NOT
flooded at this time.
