Storms and migrations test Wisconsin birds in fall and spring
A field note recounts how historic storms across Lake Superior and Wisconsin altered warbler migrations. It recalls 1888 Chicago Racine winds, May 1950 Wisconsin gusts, and late fall survivals, with Dr. Hoy detailing dozens of kinglets, flycatchers, tanagers, sparrows, swallows, and about 540 warblers dead or displaced. The piece ends with reader I M New Auburn identifying rose-breasted grosbeaks and a note inviting letters to The Country Today in Eau Claire.
