Wisconsin birding shifts back to Madison area for new finds
The Robbinses return to Madison after decades of moving Dane, Adams, St. Croix, Chippewa and Taylor counties. The essay notes dickcissels' resurgence in Sauk County, sparse grasshopper sparrows due to crop patterns, and Wisconsin’s first house finch nesting record near Madison in 1986. A great blue heron sighting in Iowa County prompts guidance that these birds are infrequent visitors, with background on the observer, I.W., and contact for The Country Today readers.

Health advisory urges hunters to avoid eating certain Wisconsin ducks
Wisconsin health officials warn waterfowl hunters to avoid mallards and other ducks along several southern and southeastern rivers due to PCBs and other contaminants. The advisory covers specific river sections and harbors, with some caution urged only for certain Fox River populations. The guidance notes high PCB levels far above FDA limits and cites broader findings of DDT and related pesticides in other species.
