Hello All,
So many of you take such wonderful photos of the birds you see, I thought I'd 
mention the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center at the Wisconsin Humane Society's 
new "Wild About Wisconsin" wildlife photo contest.  There are some great 
prizes, celebrity judges, and the intent of the contest is to raise awareness, 
interest, and appreciation of birds (and other wildlife) in Wisconsin.  Details 
are available here: 
http://www.wihumane.org/calendar/wlphotocontestguidelines.aspx.  If you are 
going to enter, don't delay, since the contest deadline is just a couple of 
weeks away!

I've been seeing or hearing from 1 to 3 PILEATED WOODPECKERS most mornings on 
my walks near our house in the Village of Richfield in Washington County.  Of 
course, these shnooks made themselves scarce around the time of the Hartford 
CBC, but they are back to being pretty vocal and active.  I'm seeing them on 
Friess Lake ROAD (not Friess Lake Drive, yes, we have both out here) between 
Hogsback Road and the Alpine Retreat Restaurant.  You might be able to park in 
the Fox and Hounds Restaurant parking lot and walk Friess Lake Road.  I usually 
see them when I walk the dog between about 7:15 and 8 AM.  This is also a 
really good area for Barred and Great Horned Owls.

Regards,

Scott Diehl
Richfield, Washington Co.
