Now that bird migration season has started, it's time for ornithologically-inclined bikers to take their eyes off the bikepath occasionally. There are some nice surprises in the lakes and the trees right now.
This morning, for example, as I was riding along the Brittingham Bike Path, I noticed some large, unfamiliar birds sitting in a tree just west of the beach. When I looked closer, I noticed about half a dozen cormorants perched in the tree, flying around, and swimming in the water. Cormorants! I've seen cormorants in Florida, and I know they are plentiful around Green Bay, but I've never seen them in Madison. Take a look if you're so inclined. They're pretty cool. _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
