This is the Wisconsin Society for Ornithology hotline report for Thursday,
April 1, 1999.
About 15 GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE were see today at the Schoenenberg Marsh
in Columbia County. This area is very good for waterfoul and some shorebirds
right now. Last week the WSO fieldtrip located one of the Ross Geese in the
DM-Harvey Rd area.
RED-THROATED LOONS are being seen now in small numbers. Two were seen in the
middle of the week from High Buff Rd south of Port Washington. Other good
locations at this time of year are Fisher Creek south of Cleveland and
Virmond Park in Ozaukee County.
There are no new reports of the Townsend’s Solitaire that was seen last week
in the Mauthe Lake area.
No reports have come in recently of unusual birds but many reports of early
spring migrants. Yellow Rumps, Kinglets, Brown Creepers, Hermit Thrushes and
many Blackbirds are being seen. Also a few shorebirds including Greater and
Lesser Yellowlegs and Pectoral Sandpipers.
If any new reports of unusual birds come in I will update the hotline as soon
as possible. Have a Happy Easter and good birding.
