June Bird Breeding Surveys Across Wisconsin Track Trends
Sam Robbins reports on June bird population surveys in Wisconsin using two methods. The North American Breeding Bird Survey covers 24.5 mile road transects with 50 stops, tallying birds seen or heard in three minute intervals. A state wide Breeding Bird Survey focuses on prime natural areas, including about 200 SAPC selected sites. Robbins compares 1967 84 and 1985 results for ovenbird red eyed vireo and least flycatcher, noting mixed signals and calling for regional comparisons.

Fish fertilizer from carp drives Lake Puckaway project
Lake Puckaway in Green Lake County uses a carp eradiation effort to produce fish fertilizer for area farms. About 300,000 pounds of carp are ground into fertilizer and spread on alfalfa and corn fields. DNR managers Jim Congdon and Dale Brege lead the effort with local support, noting fish fertilizer offers higher nitrogen and phosphorus values than cattle manure and improves fish and panfish populations over time.

Wisconsin wildlife damage claims unpaid for 1984 funds
Wisconsin 1984 wildlife damage claims totaling nearly 250000 were not paid as no funds remained after abatement needs. DNR official notes counties eligible for payments but no money disbursed. A proposed 1 surcharge on hunting licenses could provide about one million annually, with 200000 set aside for claims, awaiting legislative approval.
