Hi all,

I woke up this morning to a CAROLINA WREN singing loudly from the red 
cedar in our front yard.  Just before I left for work I grabbed my 
binoculars to see if I could track down the bird.  It had moved to the 
Lost City Forest and refused to perch in the open.  It is nice to have a 
Carolina Wren back in the neighborhood.  The severely cold winter 2 
years ago wiped out local population.  I also spotted an OLIVE-SIDED 
FLYCATCHER perched high up in a dead tree from the parking lot at the 
end of Martin Street.   While eating dinner  my wife and I saw  4 GREAT 
EGRETS fly by.

I hiked Wingra Woods during the PM on the day Jim Schwarz found the Blue 
Grosbeak in the AM.  I did not find the Blue Grosbeak, but did find a 
YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER by the same spring.
