Hi all, 
I am currently planning on doing a WI Big Day next Sat (The 15th).  My guess is 
that the route will run from Central to Southeastern WI or thereabouts.  I'd 
like to start no later than 4am. The earlier the better of course and go til 
Midnight if needed. 

I was wondering if anyone would like to join me?   

The forecast for Sat looks amazingly good.  It's going to be north winds all 
week til at least Thurs if not Fri. Hopefully the winds will turn South. With 
the Temperature forecast, South winds can be expected.  This should mean a big 
surge of migrants that have been held up all week. In other words, it should be 
a totally amazing day. 
So, want to go for it?  I'm sensing a record day here.... ;)  

Also, if anyone has route suggestions, key places to stop, and/or foolproof 
spots for key species (Yellow, King, Black Rail anyone?) any and all input is 
appreciated. 

Thanks!! 

Happy Birding! --Chris W, Richland County

"The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first 
material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the 
composer; but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no 
more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be 
again."

(From William Beebe's "The Bird: Its Form and Function," 1906)
