Redpolls Say Farewell in Arctic Seed Feasts and Flight
The note from Rosy Redpoll thanks winter feeders for a generous season of seed, explains a migration soon to begin, and contrasts live-and-let-live behavior with other birds. It recalls Herbie’s illness, mentions field sightings around Dwarf Spruce Haven in the Arctic Circle, and invites readers to watch for Lapland longspurs, snow buntings, and horned larks amid Wisconsin notes.

The proposal, similar to the Upper Mississippi River Basin Commission plan, includes long range river monitoring, habitat rehabilitation, river traffic assessment, dredge disposal, erosion control, and an immediate computer inventory.
