Three-toed woodpecker visits Wisconsin Christmas count
In a Wisconsin Christmas bird count a rare three-toed woodpecker, now called the black-backed woodpecker in 1983 revision, was spotted by Jan Luepke and teammates near Chequamegon National Forest roads. The sighting followed a thorough search with debarked trunks and spruce habitat, marking only the third such individual recorded in 45 years of The Passenger Pigeon counts.

First Fisher Season Trapping Falls Short in Wisconsin
Wisconsin's first fisher trapping season in 60 years ran December 1 to 11 but was hampered by heavy snowfall and late deer season, with only 14 fishers registered of 300 permits as trappers faced inaccessible terrain. Officials note the season served as both harvest and research, with carcasses collected for study while Chippewa trappers held 31 permits under treaty rights.

House passes Long Island addition to Apostle Island Lakeshore
The House approved adding Long Island at the mouth of Chequamegon Bay to Apostle Island National Lakeshore. The 2.5 mile sand spit, a major shorebird nesting site, would become the park's unique sand spit formation. Rep. Obey voiced support citing dune formation research and preservation aims. Local groups backed the measure to limit access and guard birdlife ahead of a private marina project.
