One of my favorite areas in Fond du Lac County are the marshes adjacent to the North Branch of the Manitowoc River (west of Marytown, northeast of Johnsburg, etc.). You can bird these marshes from Hwy Q, Kiel Rd, Hwys HH and HHH. The heavy migration last night, plus great conditions at dawn today for resident wetland birds produced a King Rail, 4 Virginia Rails, Soras, many individuals of both teal, many Sandhill Cranes, 2 Am. Bitterns, several dozen Black-crowned Night-Herons, a similar number of Great Egrets, >6200 Red-winged Blackbirds, a Sharp-shinned Hawk, and small numbers of common passerine migrants.
