Hi all,  (dated 5-14-09)
  Wyalusing st.park this am.  5:50am just outside the gate:  heard Hensow's 
sparrow at young walnut plantation right next to the road.
  Next stop parking lot at lookout point.  Immediately heard and then saw 
Yellow throated warbler. Over the next ~1,5 hours saw all the park specialty 
warblers (Prothonotary, Cerulean, Kentucky, Yellow Throated).
Additionally saw: Tennesee,Orange-crowned,Nashville,Yellow,Chestnut 
sided,Magnolia, Cape May, Palm, Bay-breasted, Bl&White, Redstart, Ovenbird, 
Yellow throat (17 spp.)
  Heard/saw many Yellow-throated Vireos, 1 Blue-headed, 1 Red-eyed, & many 
Warbling.
  Thrushes all over the road--Swainson's & Gray cheeked, a couple Veeries, many 
Wood Th. heard.
  Heard/saw several Scarlet tanagers.
  5 spp. swallows at the boat landing (all but P.Martin)
  Many R.Br. Grosbeaks.
  Many Indigo Buntings
  Heard 1 Black-billed Cuckoo
  Only flycatchers for sure were:  E.Kingbird, Great Crested, and Phoebe.  
Could swear I heard a "Pitza" once but not sure.
  77 spp. there
  Went back home to Dodgeville and then down to Spring Green Nature Preserve.  
Saw Lark Sparrow but not much else.  Horribly windy!!
  From there went in to Middleton and up to So. Colombia Co.  
  On Schumacher Rd out of Waunakee found a small flock of Black Terns but 
nothing else.
  Over all the ponds between there and Goose pond didn't find squat.
  At the DM & I ponds found a bonanza of shorebirds on the muddy flooded field 
in the NE quadrant of the intersection.  Positively ID'd SB Dowitcher, Stilt 
Sppr, both Yellowlegs, Pectoral Sppr, Least Sppr,
"pretty sure ID's": Baird's & White rumped Sppr, Semipalmated Sppr.  Also saw 
Pitpits and 1 Semipalmated Plover.

  At Goose Pond found 2 superb Black-bellied Plovers but nothing else besides 
the usual ducks.

  At Schoenberg's marsh water over road even higher than before.  Heard 
Yellow-Headed Blackbirds but detected nothing else other than the usual 
ducks/geese.
  At Harvey Rd ponds found large mixed flock of terns.  Obvious were Black & 
Forster's but some had very dark mantles and I really think they were commons

  All-in-all dissapointing #'s of shorebirds but fun day.
