Circa 50 American White Pelican Sunday afternoon on the backwater of Lake Wisconsin, west of Merrimac and NE of the junction of Highways 113 and 78. Without glasses, and from the road, gave the impression of a last vestige of winter ice along the shore....and then they flew in a long low wavering line about 1/4 mile north and landed with kin.

And one wonders if their birds have higher mortality from predators if they have transmitters.

I have been trying, most unsuccessfully, to take a photo of a Prairie Chicken in flight. I have a photo that I took at Buena Vista Grasslands on Friday (from a long ways off and which I had to increase in size to better illustrate) of one that has some extra ornamentation. It is at the link below. Anyone care to speculate on what it might be? I have 6 other photos which also show this from slightly different angles but this is the only one that you can see the head of the bird. https://www.flickr.com/photos/29584874@N08/13933634501/ Mike Reese Wautoma, Waushara County #################### You received this email because you are subscribed to the Wisconsin Birding Network (Wisbirdn).
