Weather robs Christmas bird counts in western Wisconsin
Snow and cold met wind fog and rain during the Dec 17 to Jan 2 bird counts across 10 western counties. Observers faced raindrenched mornings at Rice Lake New Richmond and Durand with subzero temps and heavy winds curbing activity. Despite harsh weather, many counts set species records aided by winter finches and lingering southern birds, with notable sightings including a golden eagle and a loggerhead shrike near Holcombe. Mr Robbins of Cadett, Milwaukee Public Museum, notes and invites comments.
