John I. makes a great point. Caterpillars are abundant at Baxter's Hollow this year and so are yellow-billed cuckoos (also a few black-billed). Whenever we have an infestation of tent or other leaf-eating caterpillars in Marquette County, cuckoos are abundant. In years when caterpillar numbers are low, cuckoos are pretty mucy non-existant. -Daryl Christensen Marquette co. Daryl and/or Sherry Christensen www.darylchristensen.com www.marquettecountyguide.com "There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of birds. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter." -Rachel Carson #################### You received this email because you are subscribed to the Wisconsin Birding Network (Wisbirdn).
