We are visiting from Iowa and came to bird Horicon Marsh and bike. The
weather is hampering that so we spent the day cheese shop hopping. As we
were driving between shops south of Reeseville I spotted 4 Sandhills in a
field and we stopped to look. As we started to drive on I looked on the
other side of the road and saw a large flock of 60 Sandhills and one white
dot. We stopped quickly and I grabbed the binoculars and camera, rolled
the window down six inches only to have rain blowing in across the car. I
got some good looks and decent pictures despite the rain. My first
Whooping Crane and a very pleasant surprise!
So Dodge Co. keep your eyes out for large flocks of Sandhills with a white
one thrown in.
Happy Birding!
