Subject: American Avocet in northeastern Portage Co., WI
After receiving a message about an American Avocet from a local birder that was
traveling through Portage County early this afternoon, Mary Backus and I raced
down to the spot and relocated the bird. It was seen in a flooded field on the
south side of State Highway 49, about 1/2 mile west of Lake Helen, or about 2
1/2 to 3 miles west of Rosholt, WI. There was actually two flooded fields, one
on each side of the highway, but the shorebirds were on the south side. The
only other shorebirds present with the Avocet were about 15 Greater Yellowlegs.
We park the car along Lake View Drive and walked in the ditch a little ways and
had great views of this bird.
