After Peter Fissel told me that my chestnut-sided warbler sighting was a week
early I went back out with binoculars to look again. All I found were
yellow-rumped warblers that looked brown in poor light and black in good
light. Well, that's not all I found...I also heard my FOY hermit thrush, and
several robins. And enjoyed the post-thunderstorm smells.

Subject: [wisb] UW Arboretum (Dane Co.) today
I was having so much fun watching the birds in my yard this morning that it
took
me a while to get going to the UW Arboretum. I hiked the Wingra Woods,
Gallistel Woods and a bit of the Lost City Forest, then came back through
Longenecker Gardens. Picked up a bunch of FOY birds right away, including
Hermit Thrush, RC Kinglet (everywhere, along with a couple of GCs,)
Broad-winged
Hawk (I kept hearing it, then saw it soaring over. It circled around over
Wingra Woods for a good ten minutes, calling all the time,) Winter Wren, Field
Sparrow (pair,) and lots of Chipping Sparrows in the conifers in Longenecker.
Also had flyover Cooper's and Sharp-shinned Hawks, and at least a half-dozen YB
Sapsuckers (had three of those in my yard this morning.) Quite a few anglewing
butterflies out and about - managed to ID two Eastern Commas and a Question
Mark.
My yard on the southeast side of Madison was still hopping when I got home this
afternoon - had a No. Flicker (only the second-ever for my current yard) and my
FOY House Wren a little while ago (maybe it came up from Andy's house...)
Guess
I'd better get the wren houses up! My yard list just for today is up to 19
species, including Purple Finch (I only ever get one female - weird) and Pine
Siskin. The latter have been hanging around since mid-February - anywhere from
one to three at a time (lately, just one, but it's pretty regular.) Still a
couple of Fox Sparrows here, and I've had a couple of White-throats today. I
keep hearing birds on the Masters broadcast that cause me to hit the mute
button, but the Carolina Wrens and Tufted Titmice are always down in Georgia...
