Icy Wisconsin encounter with rare Caspian terns and skimmers
A Wisconsin hike yields a surprising sight of 30 Caspian terns on Ipswich shore far north of their usual range. The piece contrasts tern hunting with Black Skimmers, notes migratory patterns, and recalls sightings from lakes Michigan and Superior, plus accounts of nighthawks, waxwings, and flycatchers. The author, Sam Robbins, also discusses flock behavior of blackbirds and mentions his Bird Flight reference.

Damage claim bill fuels hunting crop damage debate
A Wisconsin bill by Rep. Gervase Hephner would add $1 from hunting licenses and a $1 tax checkoff to fund crop damage remedies, reestablishing a state program with county administration and up to $25,000 claims, drawing fire from hunters and farmers over costs and deer damage. The measure AB455 also would cover ducks and cranes, with DNR funding rules and local objections about paying farmers instead of increasing hunting.

Minnesota adopts wolves control plan with limited trapping
The U S Fish and Wildlife Service announces new wolf management rules for Minnesota and the Eastern Timber Wolf Recovery Team region allowing limited trapping in depredation areas, greater depredation control flexibility, and pups taken under depredation programs. The plan aims to protect the wolf population of northern Minnesota at 1200 to 1400 animals and aligns with the Endangered Species Act and federal state conservation cooperation.
