A UW-SP friend and I checked out the Lost Creek Wetland area on the east side
of Stevens Point. Here are some observations of interest:
-Wood Duck: two females. Duck diversity is still very poor (3 spp. total.)
-NO shorebirds whatsoever.
-Common Gallinule: 1 juvenile. Rob Pendergast saw 4 birds last week.
-Sora: 1-2 birds heard.
-Lincoln's Sparrow: several individuals along with White-throated Sparrows and
Swamp Sparrows. (5 sparrow spp. total.) Also I could have sworn I heard a
Dark-eyed Junco...
-Only 3 warbler species. Non-breeding male Rose-breasted Grosbeak was a nice
passerine migrant (seen at Iverson Park.)
-Rob Pendergast and Joe Schaufenbuel also saw a Black-crowned Night Heron here
several times between last week and the week before.
Good birding!
