Had a great morning at Spring Green Preserve and afternoon at Thomson Memorial 
and Thousand's Rock Prairies in Dane County today. 

Highlights at Spring Green were DICKSISSELS, GRASHOPPER SPARROWS,  LARK 
SPARROWS, EASTERN MEADOWLARKS. and ORCHARD ORIOLE. Not many wildflowers except 
for spiderwort and wood lilies and a few others. 

Thousand's Rock Prairie was somewhat quiet, but did have a Grasshopper Sparrow, 
Dicksissel, and Eastern Meadowlark.

Finally had my life UPLAND SANDPIPERS at Thomson Memorial Prairie, along with 
more DICKSISSELS, and BOBOLINKS.

Full lists below and photos coming soon.
