Jesse and all, 
I should've been slightly more specific in my post. Sorry. 
Schumacher Road is in Northern Dane County just northeast of Waunakee. 

Take Hwy 113 North out of Waunakee. Turn right (East) on Cuba Valley Rd.  
Schumacher Rd is the first through road. Turn left (north) on Schumacher Rd. 

The Reeve was in the pond on the west side of the road. 

Good luck! 


Happy Birding! --Chris W, Richland County

"The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first 
material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the 
composer; but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no 
more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be 
again."

(From William Beebe's "The Bird: Its Form and Function," 1906)
