Bird movement has been picking up here in Stevens Point. Today at Schmeekle
Reserve (UWSP campus), I had 11 warbler species. Ordered from most to least
abundant: Palm, Yellow-rumped, Yellow, Tennessee, Nashville, Ovenbird (2 heard
only), Black-throated Green, Pine, Chestnut-sided, Black-and-white (only
non-singing warbler species), and Northern Parula. Common Yellowthroat (12th
warbler species) was seen yesterday at Iverson Park with the local Audubon
group. Most of these species (except Yellow and Pine) were found in a loose
wave in the northeastern part of the reserve. Other good birds for today
included Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, possible Great-horned Owl, Ruby-crowned
Kinglet (semi-late), and Gray-cheeked Thrush (FOY).
Yesterday at Iverson Park, FOY birds seen include Great crested and Least
Flycatchers, Blue-headed Vireo, and Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
The Audubon group also stopped by the Lost Creek wetlands. 6 shorebird species
(excluding Spotted heard flying over Iverson). In order from most to least
abundant: Lesser Yellowlegs, Short-billed Dowitcher (4), Killdeer, Wilson's
Phalarope (2), Solitary Sandpiper, and an unidentified peep. Gerry Janz saw a
Merlin there earlier yesterday.
Good birding!
