Great dreams, folks. Here are some of mine -- and if you don't mind, I might try to compile these into a story for Birding -- would anyone object or care to expound? (I'm the Dimensions editor) Dream No. 1 -- In my back yard is a stream and some land where all kinds of ducks float by one by one -- wigeons and pintails and mallards, they just keep coming -- plus then the tigers and lions start wandering around in the back yard. It is a smorgasbord of wildlife -- and I've had this dream several times. I also dream about warbler migration before or after the big migration season -- I see birds dripping from the trees in my backyards and shout them out, oh there's a blue-winged, a blackburnian, a redstart -- Sometimes I have feeders out there that attract warbler s-- of course a sunflower feeder won't attract a blackburnian, but they it's a dream. Do your dreams repeat or do you have new ones? Mine seem to repeat although lately none of the wonderful dreams above have showed up in my sleep lately.

I can still remember this one dream, I had as a kid, quite vividly. I had to be around 10 yrs. old OK, now hang on, this just beats bizarre by 2 feathers. I'm staring out of my Gr'ma and Gr'pa's window gawking at this huge ice floe out in the middle of a much smaller Lake Butte des Morts. Birds were sitting on, flying over or just swimming nearby. And I swear to God these were the following I had seen: Ducks, geese, pelicans, PENGUINS, cormorants, GANNETS and a flying flock of SHEATHBILLS, you read me right., and this floe was cruising westward at a rate of ~ 30 feet in 10 seconds. Just the weirdest combo of birds ever imagined in this head on mine. Top that, will ya'.

I've begun. Last night I listened to and watched white-throated sparrows and chipping sparrows in my dreams. My favorite still was last year, when I dreamt that I had located a 'green throated vireo'. Yes it was amazing. I looked through my guide to see that it was definitely out of territory here in Wisconsin. I was so thrilled I woke myself up with the excitement only to smile at my creativity. Sleep well and dream. Good Birding, Terri Welisek Sherwood, WI Calumet County #################### You received this email because you are subscribed to the Wisconsin Birding Network (Wisbirdn).
