Birds returning to west central Wisconsin for nesting may rely on instinct or parental teaching. Wildlife ecologist Stanley Temple notes nests vary from simple dirt scrapes to intricate twigs and grasses. A mallard duck incubates eggs solo and must leave the nest to feed, shaping nest design needs.
Frank Pratt, area fish manager for Rusk and Sawyer counties, notes redhorse and sucker popularity rises with anglers for food and sport. He says fishing is best in deep holes below dams and that bag limits are 50 per day for redhorse and suckers.
St Paul Minnesota reports federal and state habitat restoration has removed the greenback cutthroat from the endangered list. The 1969 designation followed habitat decline due to mining logging grazing and irrigation in Colorado. The article covers bird nesting instincts, nest types, and cavity competition among species, highlighting instinctual nest building and adaptive strategies.
A Wisconsin birding note details a May catch-up day bringing in late May species after a 10 day north or east wind shift. The observer records 90 species near Osseo and Eau Claire, notes a rare Harris sparrow with a black face, discusses its brief spring window and nesting mystery, and mentions other May migrants including cedar waxwings nighthawks and various warblers. It ends with a query about two large high-flying birds that may be a great blue heron or sandhill crane and identifies Mr. Robbins of the Milwaukee Public Museum as a contributor.
