I ran my Red Shouldered Hawk Survey route this morning. It's on back roads
in Menominee County, done with tribal permission. Because of our late winter
snows, the roads weren't really possible until this week. Still kind of
muddy and rutted, but my little car did fine. It's hard to believe I started
out the morning with my tires crunching ice and snow and ended the afternoon
in a t-shirt. Ahh spring in Wisconsin!
I heard 5 Red Shouldered Hawks - this is excellent habitat.
Other birds of interest:
6 Yellow-rumped Warblers - flycatching above a stream FOY for me
Hermit Thrushes (many)
Golden crowned kinglets
Juncos
Phoebe
Sandhill Cranes
winter wrens singing!! :-)
Brown Creepers singing
Pine Siskins
Flicker
Ravens
all the Woodpeckers, especially Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers - I've kidded Ryan
Brady that this is a Sapsucker survey route. I counted "only" 38 on the 12
stop route this time. Over 50 last year. second survey may have more.
On the way home in Langlade co FOY Tree Swallows.
