I also had a chance to get up to Horicon Marsh today in the early afternoon.
As Jym mentioned, it was quite windy, but temps were a bit more palatable in
the afternoon sun. My main purpose wasn't birding, so I didn't spend as
much time as I would have liked IDing birds along 49 (not everyone in the
car had the patience for it!!), but I did find some good stuff, including
some of the things that Jym had looked for. I also walked the entire Bud
Cooke trail (basically empty of birds except a couple sparrows and a
harrier) and the auto loop. I walked the Redhead trail behind the lake and
found quite a few interesting birds back there including Trumpeter Swans and
a Blue Headed Vireo. Here's the list:
