Got an email from Brad Paulson telling me that he had a Vesper Sparrow in
his greenhouse.
Had a chance to run down there today and the bird was still there.
Brad said the bird has been around since at least Feb 24th.
Not the greatest photo, but diagnostic:

While birding the area I also found my first Eastern Meadowlark of the year.
Checked the Rock River from Beloit up to Lake Koshkonong.
Waterfowl counts of:
2420 Canada Goose
2 Black Duck
184 Mallard
39 Canvasback
3 Redhead
75 Lesser Scaup
2 Bufflehead
90 Common Goldeneye
8 Hooded Mergs
110 Common Mergs
9 Ruddy Duck
3 Coots
Also found my first Sandhill Cranes and first Flicker of the year.
Good Birding
Quentin
