Wisconsin Green Birding Challenge. Maximum birding. Zero fossil fuels. Thursday, January 29, 2015. As mentioned in the prior post, here is the lack of ice cover along this small sliver of Lake Mendota. I don't think it's been frozen since I returned from winter break. Still no new ducks, but I try to check it every day! Wednesday, January 21, 2015. We're out of the gate for this year's competition. This year already looks quite. There It would be nice to see some different waterfowl this month!

http://wisbigby.blogspot.com/2015/03/spring-isreturning.html
Wisconsin Green Birding Challenge. Maximum birding. Zero fossil fuels. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. We were teased by some early high temps, followed by a return to snow and freezing cold. Now, we're creeping back into the 60s. To celebrate the sun, I went for a quick walk to University Bay this morning, and found my first-of-year (FOY) tree swallow. Email WI Green Birding.

Wisconsin Green Birding Challenge: Migrants
http://wisbigby.blogspot.com/2015/04/migrants.html
Wisconsin Green Birding Challenge. Maximum birding. Zero fossil fuels. Thursday, April 2, 2015. This afternoon, I finally found some blue-winged teal. There was also a double-crested cormorant. Swimming. A belted kingfisher. Was flying high and calling. However, the ice isn't gone. This is what the lake looks like north of picnic point right now. Anyway, near the entrance, there was a field sparrow. At the edge of the woods (odd place, I know). As we walked to biocore, we heard an eastern towhee.

Flyover of Lake Mendota. Then, I finally found my target species of this (and next) month: rusty blackbirds. Then, I birded the prairie in search of some "nocturnal shorebirds," and was not disappointed! There were several American woodcock. Displaying, as well as a winnowing Wilson's snipe.
