Wisconsin forest birds in August offer scarce thrills for Florida visitors
A Clark County caller asks how to show a Florida birder Wisconsin birds in August. The piece notes hermit thrushes and warblers are scarce, suggests strategies to locate lingering species in moist, multi-layer habitats, using squeaks to provoke responses, and following chickadee cues, berry ripening, and calls. It also mentions August wandering herons and shore birds along wetlands and provides contact for ornithologist Mr. Robbins.

Wisconsin Goose Quota Cut Agreed In Horicon Zones
Wisconsin DNR and federal officials reached a compromise setting a 15,000 goose quota only in Horicon Marsh zones, with no statewide limit otherwise. Senator Kasten hailed the agreement as beneficial for birds and Wisconsin hunters, while plans to expand zones and tighten limits were debated.

Two-zone waterfowl season eyed for state
The Wisconsin Natural Resources Board will discuss a proposed two zone waterfowl plan at its August 24 meeting. The northern zone would run Oct 1 to Nov 19 for 50 days with no split, while the southern zone would run 50 days with a six day split from Oct 15 to Nov 24. Boundary would follow Highway 10 from Durand to Manitowoc then jog south on Highway 25 to keep Pepin County northern. Dr. Armin Block argues the split harms northern hunters by pushing birds south to create late season bluebill builds. The NRB will seek input from the Conservation Congress, the Wisconsin Chapter of the National Wildlife Federation, and the public before final action.

California vets test condor sex by blood samples
Biologists in San Diego extract blood from Sespe and Almigi to determine the gender of California condors hatched in captivity. Chromosome tests, similar to paternity methods, require three days. Tecuya and Sisquoc were first two captively hatched condors previously identified as female and male respectively.
