Hi Everyone,
On the south-west bike path in Madison between Odana and Midvale roads,
there are about 4 acres of undeveloped wood and parkland. Today this area
was extremely productive for it's size, perhaps due to the run-off stream
that runs through it. In the short time that I was there the wood warblers
gave a grand-finale to their migration, and a few sparrows showed up for the
first time this fall. On and unrelated note, a very large snapping turtle
has been wandering confusedly around my neighborhood this week, and if any
of you birders know someone I could call capable of picking up this guy and
taking him to a better-suited habitat, please let me know.
