I took a long-time birder friend (who is unable to walk due to failing
health) "birding by car" yesterday at Baxter's Hollow in the Baraboo Hills.
Never having tried to bird only from a car in a forest before, I was very
pleasantly surprised at all we could see and hear--thanks in part to having
a silent electric car.
We had spectacular closeup views (along the entry road adjacent to the the
creek) of Blackbilled cuckoo, Canada warbler, Wilson's warbler, Acadian
flycatcher (also calling), and Scarlet tanager, among others, and logged
40+ species by ear in about 30 minutes. Baxter's Hollow is definitely
brimming with its summer breeding birds now. A nice option for our
birding comrades who can't hit the trails like they used to.
