I figured I would share this observation since Carolina Wren in the state can be hit-or-miss. A group of us from Stevens Point, WI heard an individual singing and calling multiple times in Brownsville this morning. Some of us did end up getting a fleeting view of the wren. It was in the wooded area directly across from the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife Refuge waterfowl viewing platform.
Everything else seen in the area for the day was expected: 14 duck species, Tundra Swan, Bald Eagle, and American White Pelican were all present in decent numbers. We missed Red-breasted and Common Mergansers and Redhead. Also present were Great Blue Heron, Belted Kingfisher, Golden-crowned Kinglet, and Red-winged Blackbird. 2-3 Tufted Titmice and a Brown Creeper were present in Vernon County, WI. Good birding!
