Hi to All, My Dad and I have noticed that the tree swallows are definitely late this year. I live in Omro and usually by now the Fox River is swarming with them. My Dad lives in Wautoma and houses 25-30 pair a Summer at his home on a small lake. In talking with him last night he said it seems almost eery there because there are no swallows. This will be a first time April arrival for me since I started keeping track. My Dad did have one arrive on Saturday and now 3 pairs today but far short from where he normally is. My yard is also very quiet except for many many juncos that seem to add on every day. I did have one house sparrow this morning which my husband happily took care of for me! :) On another note, the ospreys have returned to their nest on the power lines between Oshkosh and Omro. A great sight to see today! Laurie Cieszynski Omro, Winnebago County #################### You received this email because you are subscribed to the Wisconsin Birding Network (Wisbirdn).
