This is the birding hotline report of the Madison Audubon Society for

Two birders went to Goose Pond Sanctuary in Columbia County on Monday
the 16th. They found 14 species, including 2 BLACK DUCKS, 7 CACKLING
GEESE among the 3000 or so CANADA GEESE, and 32 TUNDRA SWANS. They
went next to the DM & I ponds in northern Dane County, and there found
120 TUNDRA SWANS among others.
Another birder at Goose Pond and Schoeneberg Marsh, today, the 20th,
found WILD TURKEY among a number of waterfowl including RING-NECKED
DUCK and BUFFLEHEAD. He then went to Madison where he found, among
others, a HORNED GREBE, a GREAT HORNED OWL being mobbed by AMERICAN
CROWS, one COMMON LOON, a BROWN CREEPER and 3 WHOOPING CRANES. The
specific locations in Madison were not mentioned.
Also today, the 20th, another observer found a ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK in
