The piece recalls a 1975 Lake Wissota scene with jays carrying acorns north to oak stands, while others return empty beaks. It notes varying winter numbers, spring migration sizes, and how observers tally birds for Christmas counts and surveys.

Hike in Conservation Corps funding backed by Holperin
Wisconsin lawmakers consider boosting the Conservation Corps budget with a 1.4 million increase as part of a funding reshuffle. Rep. James Holperin pushes for the plan to shift from hunting and fishing license revenues, potentially affecting federal wildlife money and overall state support. The proposal faces review by the Joint Finance Committee and possible shifts by the full Legislature.
