Ownership and stewardship of land for birds in Wisconsin
A farmer writes of promoting bird welfare on his land, noting goldfinches and bobolinks use unfarmed pasture. He recalls Aldo Leopold and ponders who truly owns land, urging stewardship over mere ownership, while describing land use, migration staging, and requests for reader observations on bird flocks and behavior.

Two Taxidermy Schools Under State Inquiry In Wisconsin
Special investigators for the DNR uncovered violations at two Wisconsin taxidermy schools, potentially leading to charges against school officials instructors students and independent taxidermists. Ralph Christensen said undercover wardens enrolled at both schools from May to October 1984. They attended two-week and six-week sessions at the American Institute of Taxidermy in Janesville run by John R. Rinehart and Andres Taxidermy School in Stratford run by Jerry Andres. Potential charges stem from the investigations.
