If the number of limbs, branches, and tree tops that
needed to be cleared from the Deep Portage trails on
Monday morning were any indication, Sunday was a tad
"breezy".  

Rain and wind gusts up to 40 mph accompanied us on our
Cass County big day effort, although the sun came out
in the evening. We tallied 118 species in total, and
finished the day with a Sandhill Crane on Pine
Mountain Lake.  

Thanks to Larry Olsen, Dale Yerger, Molly Malecek, and
Evan Barbour for participating.  Special thanks to
Arnie Rieger of Sunset Bay Resort on Baby Lake for
letting us come over....your oak tree provided most of
our warbler species.

Thanks also to everyone that participated in the bird
walk and banding demonstration at Deep Portage on
Saturday.  

It was a good morning today on Bass Pond, with many
Blackpoll, Blackburnian, and Tennessee Warblers. 
Cheers,

Ben Wieland
