Hello Wisconsin!
I couldn't help myself. I had to reference "That 70's Show", A sitcom taking place in Wisconsin. The first weekend of birding since we moved to Madison, WI was good but very buggy! It was great hunting for the swallows, Eastern Phoebes and Eastern Wood Pee-wees that I saw but a little uncomfortable for me.
One of the highlights of last weekend was the numerous Common Yellowthroats. I don't recall ever seeing this bird in NY but I have only been looking for warblers for about a year. The male's striking "black mask" contrasted with his "yellow throat" is beautiful. They did make photographing them a challenge since they are pretty much constantly in motion.
This Veery gave me the eye while foraging on the path with its' cousin in the thrush family the American Robin.
This Red-winged Blackbird gave me his best angry face!
Here is another shot of the Common Yellowthroat. On top of all that, I found my first Wisconsin Bald Eagle nest. The Eagle Report will live on! Happy Birding and I hope to chronicle more of my new experiences in Wisconsin.
