At our cabin in northern Vilas County this weekend:
* a pair of Eastern Phoebes (probably the same pair that built their
nest last year under the eaves of the porch)
* one singing male Yellow-rumped Warbler
* several White-throated Sparrows singing late down in the bog
* flyovers of three Bald Eagles, two mature, one immature
* a pair each of White-breasted and Red-breasted Nuthatches
* a pair of robins working on their nest outside the north window
* a pair of Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers working on their cavity nest in
the same dead tree as last year
* one Barred Owl, at first calling from several hundred yards away near
the bog, then from a nearby tree
* Woodpeckers - two Pileated, two Downy, one Hairy
* One Common Loon calling briefly from the nearby lake
