Sorry for the late post, I have struggled to find time for 'fun' stuff on
the computer. Below is an abbreviated list of highlights from the past five
days.
Thursday I observed two Red-shouldered hawks during a survey route, a new
lifer!
Friday afternoon my wife and headed to Fond du Lac, finding four Greater
Prairie Chickens at Mead Wildlife Area on the way.
Saturday we went to Horicon Marsh, finding 60 species on our first ever
visit. We walked the trail at the International Center and drove Dike Rd,
with a cooperative Savannah

my wife's photo highlight.
Sunday I repeated the hawk route, observing three the second time around. I
brought the camera this time and captured a quick photo in dim light of the
1st year juvenile as it flew almost directly overhead.
