Hi all,
Alex and Abbey Stark, Libby Zeman and I ran my survey route for the National
Eagle center's annual Golden Eagle Survey last Sat (the 16th). We covered an
140 mile route from La Crosse to Chaseburg to Melvina to Sparta. We managed to
find two Golden Eagles. One adult and one juvie. Both birds were west to
Northwest of the town of Melvina and south of Sparta. One on Monroe county and
one just inside La Crosse County. Other raptors observed were: 11 Bald Eagles
(a few in exactly the same place I had seen them last year) 17 Red-tailed Hawks
(looks like a good year for them) 4 Rough-legged Hawks (including one
Dark-morph) 4 Kestrels.
We also found one Kingfisher fishing an open stream on our way home.
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)
