[mou] Gilman, Foley Ponds, Horicon Marsh

[Pastor Al Schirmacher]

Pursuant to Herb Dingmann's weekend post, checked Foley & Gilman Ponds this 
morning.  The Willet was still present at Gilman, but the Red-necked 
Phalarope was missing from both of Foley's (surprisingly full) ponds.

Traveled to WI over the weekend to move my oldest son - Nathan and I spent 
Sunday evening at Horicon Marsh.  Enjoyed Least & American Bitterns, 
Black-crowned Night Herons, Henslow's Sparrows and various commoners - 
although the marsh overall is much "slower" than normal with elevated water 
levels.

("Slower" did include Glossy Ibis and BN Stilt in recent weeks.)

Good birding to all!
