When processing my records before "crashing" I discovered that I
failed to mention two other interesting things. There were at least
10 Common and 2 Red-throated Loons on Wis Pt.
And last I watched a Short-eared Owl harass a male Harrier for 5-10
minutes on the marsh north of the pumphouse. When it finally drove
the Harrier off, it then proceeded to hunt for quite some time over
the marsh. That was a real surprise to find a SE Owl out there at
this time of the year---possible nesting???
A footnote: any one going to Crex Meadows for the sparrows and
rails, be aware that they have burned an extensive part of the east
refuge area, including up to the pumphouse. It is just starting to
green out. Thus the prime habitat (besides along the North Refuge Rd
by Reed Lake) is the NORTH side of the pumphouse, not the south.
Good luck.
