Wayne Perala is now reporting two BLACK-NECKED STILTS at the North Ottawa
Impoundment in Grant County, near the location where the Glossy Ibis was
being seen last week.
There have not been any updates yet about the King Rail he photographed
there this morning.

The high winds and heavy rain yesterday took its toll on the stilt nest. It
appears that the nest was washed away and the birds have left the area. We
understand that this is a relatively common occurrence with this species and
the reason that it tends to nest in drier areas of the country.

Some members of the MOU Awards Committee have already discussed giving a
certificate of recognition to the city of Herman for their cooperation, as Bob
suggests. (We had recently done this for Janet Anderson and her Lewis's
Woodpecker in Roosevelt.) Such recognition might also serve as a spark
Great idea, guys!

I, too, was fortunate yesterday
to see these two Black-necked Stilts.
However, I’m wondering if all the birders visiting are stressing these
birds. Almost the entire time I was
there one of the birds (a female, I think) stood on the edge of the pond, near
the nest, and softly called
My wife and I made the long journey out to see the Black-necked Stilts at
the Herman Sewage Ponds today. First, for anyone making the trip, Hwy 27
is closed from I-94 to Hwy 55 in Hoffman so plan accordingly. Second, the
town of Herman looks like a ghost town compared to the last time I was
The Black-necked Stilts were seen today (Friday, 6/6 at 11:00 am) at the Herman
sewage ponds in Grant Country.
As earlier reported, the ponds are located 1.2 miles southeast of town on Hwy 9
on the east side of the road.

We checked the nesting Black-necked Stilts at the Herman water treatment ponds
today. The heavy rains in that area have brought the water line right up to
the nest. Hopefully the rains will stop and the birds will be successful and
not flooded out. From what we read this species getting
Awesome news!
Really cool that the people working for the city are excited and are willing to
go out of their way to help.
Some days it can seem like just about nobody cares about wildlife or the
environment, but I've noticed that just about everyone gets excited when
something rare happens
According to Roberts (publication date 1932), the black-necked stilt is not
known to have nested in the state.
Interestingly, he notes that Canada Geese have just about vanished as
breeding birds, and also A number of Wild Turkeys were liberated in
various places in the state a few years ago, but
The Black-necked Stilts at the Herman (Grant County) sewage ponds are nesting.
We visited the area today and observed nesting behavior by what seems to be the
female and were able to obtain permission from the city to walk into the ponds
to photograph a single egg on a small nest depression
I am passing along a report from Jim Peterson that he found 2 Black-necked
Stilts at the Herman sewage ponds this morning. Several other shorebird

Dunlin, Baird's Sandpiper, White-rumped Sandpiper, Pectoral Sandpiper,
still present this evening at the Herman sewage treatment ponds late this
afternoon.

Currently watching a pair of Black-necked Stilts at the Herman sewage ponds in
southwest Grant County. The north pond is drawn down and is hosting a nice
variety of shorebirds and ducks in addition to the stilts. The stilt pair
stuck to the south end of this pond which made for easy viewing.

While in Wisconsin, noted that Black-necked Stilts are nesting in two
locations.
Checked the MOU website this afternoon, our last report is 2010.
Know that Minnesota Wisconsin are not mirrors of each other, but wonder if BN
Stilts might be in the state without our awareness? Perhaps Big
