[wisb] yard and loon in Mke Co.

Well, I wish our northern sisters and brothers  'n birds 'n beasts comfort 
tonight in the deep snows.  We experience the  wind here in the south - much 
treefall as a result - but our snows were far  gentler. One small surprise 
this morning was to see the Fox Sparrow scratching  the icy coating beneath 
the red twig dogwood where I deliver ground feed; it has  remained for 
nearly a week, but is shy to reappear when I reseed the area.   

And, I took time during the afternoon to check for the injured loon in  Bay 
View.  No sighting was had from Cupertino Park's helicopter pad or  at any 
possible nearby landfalls at South Shore Park.  Is it possible that  someone 
rescued this beautiful bird and took it to rehab?  (I am not  hardened to 
these acts of nature....)
