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 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
