After the group viewed the Brant from route 16 (looking south), the bird moved
with other geese to a spot closer to route 33 - closer to the NW corner of the
sewage treatment ponds. I was able to re-find it there. The scope view was a
whole lot better than the view from route 16 since it was

geese.. i saw a couple snow geese,

meant to say County Road 33. Also I understand than someone has driven into

Just hear that as of 2:45 the Brant was sleeping on the dike not far from
the County Road 33 entrance to the sewage ponds. It had spent some time
during midday down in the river again. The birds appear to be using the
short grass of the dikes for feeding and the river for their water supply.
I saw a Short-eared Owl in flight over Touch the Sky Prairie NW of Blue
Mounds State Park.
Otherwise pretty much the same old, same old: many Horned Lark, a few
Meadowlark, a few Tree Sparrow, 9 Red-tailed Hawks and migrating Kestrels (7)

to the sewage pond area. The flock of Canada Geese it
is with are skittish and the
