I took advantage of the balmy weather this afternoon and ran down to Lake Wingra in shorts! At the Ho Nee Um storm drain outlet, I found the drake Wood Duck my group found on the Madison CBC in the exact same spot as he was on 12/18! According to eBird, right around now is about the least likely time to find a Wood Duck in Wisconsin. There was also a Kingfisher and several Gadwall present, for some nice additions to my 2011 BIGBY list. A search of the bikepath for Carolina Wrens came up empty, but my BIGBY list stands at 23 species, the highlights being: Am. Tree Sparrow Tufted Titmouse Kingfisher Wood Duck Gadwall Brown Creeper Good Birding!
