From: korducki@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2012 14:34:54 +0000 Dan there is also a Black-throated Blue at a small park in Chicago. It showed up in Dec and was still there a few days ago. I'm sure they have been able to linger due to the balmy autumn into early winter. Like you suggest there are probably more out there.

At Hatley I tried for the female Varied Thrush. Arriving around 8:00 I had a half hour wait before it showed up. I saw it briefly a few minutes before behind the house (on the east side). It then appeared below the feeders by the garage, feeding for 5+ minutes. When it flew off it moved to the cedars behind the home, not along side the road. There was considerable activity at their feeders besides the thrush, that included a White-throated Sparrow, redpolls, siskins, goldfinches, etc. (about 20 species!) Next was the Wausau spot on Nuthatch Rd for the male Spotted Towhee. Almost immediately I found the cardinal/junco flock working in the bushes around the homes. I did not see the towhee initially, so I cruised around to the Crane Dr feeders but they only had squirrels! Returning to the Nuthatch Dr site, almost immediately the male Spotted Towhee appeared in a bush by the neighbor's shed with juncos and cardinals, plus one Blue Jay. It shortly dropped down on the ground below/behind the bush where I could no longer see it. Waiting time for it was less than 10 minutes (sorry Tom!). Last was Marathon City for the Baltimore Oriole. As I pulled up to the backyard feeders, it was very obvious feeding in one of the feeders and chasing other birds away. It fed for several minutes, then flew to some shrubs. About 10 minutes later it was back at the feeder, after which it went to their heated bird bath for a quick drink before going back to the shrubs. On the way home I tried for the E. Bluebirds that I had found on the Fremont CBC, but no luck. Stopping in Fremont to check one of the berry trees I was surprised to find a flock of 200+ Cedar Waxwings vigorously feeding on the crabapple berries. And among them was one Bohemian Waxwing! A nice surprise to end a fun morning.

I checked out the west and east side of the marsh before heading for the meeting. Along Hwy 26, south of 151, at a farm among the numerous Starlings were single Redwinged Blackbird and BH Cowbird. On the east side on Dike Rd, before it turns north and heads out on to the dike are two homes that feed birds. There was a nice variety present but most interesting were the numerous flocks of Redwinged Blackbirds flying over from north to south. In the 5+ minutes I estimated at least 125 Redwings plus a few Brewer's and Rusty Blackbirds! Where they ended up I do not know as they continued south along Northern Woods Rd and beyond from what I could see.

We did not see them yesterday, but they were preening on the rocks out on the point this morning. We found no snowy owls, but did watch a northern harrier cruising the shoreline, and among the mallards were a cormorant, some bufflehead, a few red breasted mergansers and one female northern shoveler. We found a glaucous gull Saturday at Lakeside Park, but saw only a couple herring gulls today.

I set up my spotting scope and was pleasantly suprised to find a VERY dark Snowy Owl. The only part of this owl that was white was the face. After about ten minutes, I turned my car around to get a better look using the spotting scope on the window mount. I relocated the owl and as I looked up, another owl was flying north, from the treatment plant area. This bird flew directly at the 1st owl. They interacted in flight and the 2nd owl flew back south, landing near the edge of the open water. Once I got the scope on this bird, I noted that it was almost as dark as the first. Compared to the photo of the Sheboygan bird, the Fond du Lac birds were almost black.

I eventually spotted one on the breakwater wall and observed it between 11am-noon. Talked to fishermen on the piers and they said they saw a dead one in the water a few weeks ago. There were 75-100 ducks in the harbor open water and gulls on the ice in the river, but I didn't stop to ID as I wanted to search for the snowy.

Best stop was Point Beach. At the Rawley's Point Nature Center we watched pairs and singles of Long-tailed Ducks shuttle up and down the shoreline. Also moving about were small flocks of both Common and Red-breasted Mergansers. But the highlights were 8 White-winged Scoters which came in near-shore and landed a couple hundred yards out as well as a single Greater Black-backed Gull circling its way north up the beach. A good half-mile out on the lake a cloud of a thousand ducks at least came off the water, moved a short distance then disappeared into the waves. Two Rivers and Manitowoc both held lots of birds, but nothing particularly unusual. My patience for inpsecting flocks of gulls however, is limited. Took a shot for the Snowy Owl at Collins on the way home. Took Hwy. JJ to Quarry Rd., then circumnavigated the marsh to no avail. But picked up a nice variety of other raptors as well a pheasant and turkeys. Complete list below...

This last Friday was the last day that they saw the bird. They had to run into Wausau yesterday morning, so they didn't see it before they left. When they returned in the early afternoon they kept looking for it to come into the feeders, but it was a no show. Today it wasn't seen either.

While we saw grouse tracks in the snow, we saw no actual grouse, unfortunately. Did have our first Ravens of the trip. We continued on the road to County E and worked our way over to Alvin in Forest County, stopping first at the Brule River campground just north of there (dead quiet.) At Alvin, the northernmost house on Hwy 55 had only a couple of BC Chickadees, but a new feeding station at a home on the other (west) side of the road farther south had a flock of Evening Grosbeaks and a few Am. Goldfinches. The Grosbeaks were flying back and forth between that house and the one up on the hill - we estimated 40-50 in total. Also had close to 20 Mourning Doves, Downy and Hairy WPs and a few Blue Jays there. We drove south on Hwy 55, chancing that we'd be able to get through from the east end of the Pine River Rd. The gamble paid off as we had a small flock of White-winged Crossbills feeding in the road (one of which unfortunately got picked off by a truck while we watched them.) Farther south, a larger flock of birds took off from the road, but we couldn't get much on them. Pat Ready thought they probably were WW Crossbills also. Our best find was a little ways south of there, where we spotted a flock of a dozen or so Pine Grosbeaks in a tree next to the highway. Great looks were had by all. We found the Pine River Rd. unplowed but passable (it had been plowed as far as Giant Pine Rd. after the most recent snowfall up here a few days ago.) The Pine River bridge was achingly quiet, although once or twice we thought we heard some distant drumming, and a few of our party saw a woodpecker fly across the road that was a good candidate for Black-backed, but extensive searching yielded no good looks at it. The bog just west of Giant Pine was similarly quiet, so we went into Three Lakes for lunch and came back out on Sheltered Valley Rd. afterward. Still nothing at that bog, so we went down Giant Pine Rd. to the trail of the same name and hiked in. Almost immediately, we could hear a bird calling insistently, and I finally spotted it up in the top of a birch. It was a female/immature Red Crossbill, the only one we've seen so far. We hiked out a ways into the bog on the boardwalk and tried playing Boreal Chickadee calls, but got no response after several minutes and turned around to go back to the cars. We fortunately hadn't gotten far when I heard something behind us and turned just in time to see a small bird flit into a spruce. I hurried back to where we'd been and heard a Boreal Chickadee, then another. There apparently were three, although I only saw two of them, and I think Dan Doeppers and I were the only ones who had a very good look at any of them (they were close and calling, but stayed deep in the spruces.) We checked Scott Lake Rd. west of Giant Pine, but had only a few Chickadees, although I wasn't entirely certain they were all Black-capped. Unfortunately, we missed seeing or hearing any woodpeckers there, as well (in general, they've been hard to come by - think we only have a couple of Pileateds and a few each of Downies and Hairies.) No Gray Jays yet, either. With luck, we'll be able to come up with another species or two tomorrow.

Today, however, at least one was in the harbor. It was diving continuously, and since Red-throated Loons are known for swimming long distances, surfacing at different places all over the harbor. Since I never saw two of them in a single scope view, I am reporting only one, but there could have been two. I did not find the Lesser Black-backed Gull reported by Andrea Szymczak yesterday, but I did see 4 Great Black-backed and 3 Glaucous Gulls on the breakwalls of the harbor.

Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2012 18:13:20 -0600 There was a nice flock of Lapland Longspurs, Horned Larks, and a few Snow Buntings on Six Mile Rd. between Sheboygan County D and G. I was surprised at the large number of Horned Larks in the flock and how few Snow Buntings there were. In Sheboygan, The Barrow's Goldeneye is continuing at its usual location in the harbor, seen from South Pier at Blue Harbor Resort. Also in the area were 3 Great Black-backed Gulls and 4 Glaucous Gulls. The Snowy Owl as previously reported by Ellen Klusmeier was on the east breakwall of the marina. The wind really was strong by the time I left and the lake very choppy at the point, so I did not spend much time there.

Jesse Ellis has been updating eBird with sightings of birds posted on the listserve here and I have been adding many sightings sent directly to me from the public who don't post to this list or use eBird. We're probably pushing a couple hundred owls seen in the state now, though tracking different individuals on such a large scale has become difficult. If you're looking for Snowies, the map linked here should be of good help. If you've seen a Snowy that isn't on this map, send to Jesse or myself the date, location, and any photos so we can add it to the database.
