Thanks to those who helped with pointers for my annual trip with my dad and
another retired friend. Charlie was able to add 15 birds to his list - he's
taken up birding just since he retired from UMD and is really enjoying it.
Some highlights include the Blue Grosbeak pair at Blue mounds. We were
offered but one look in 3 hours on the Bur Oak trail so we thought we were lucky.
The Orchard Oriole was also a treat. Lots of flycatchers, but my untrained
eye finds them very frustrating. Salt Lake provided us some wonderful
observations of Wilson's and Red-necked Phalaropes, along with Dunlins, SPPlovers,
Bairdes and Least Sandpipers and numerous sp. of ducks. We really scoped hard for
an Avocet to no avail.
