This is the birding hotline report of the Madison Audubon Society for

Following are areas where bird activity has been recently reported:
- Baxter’s Hollow – This area has been good for HOODED and CANADA
WARBLERS, LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH, WINTER WREN, both CUCKOOS, ACADIAN
FLYCATCHER, PILEATED WOODPECKER and BARRED OWL.
- Brooklyn Wildlife Area – If you’re coming from County D, enter the
first parking lot on County DD, and walk (east) about 200 yards on the
path that goes straight in. The YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT has been heard
and seen in this location.
- Albany Wildlife Area – Go to the end of Conservation Road off a bend
in Green County EE and go west on the bike trail about 100 yards to
the bridge. The WHITE-EYED VIREO is back and tends to stay in this
area.
- Stephen’s Falls parking area, Governor Dodge State Park – BELL’S
VIREO has been rather regular in this area, especially in the hedgerow
across the road from the entrance to the falls.

From the curve before the bridge, take the path through the wood, and
then about another 100 yards.
- Mazomanie Wildlife Area – From Mazomanie take County Y and turn left
on the gravel road before Laws Road. There’s a parking lot about 100
yards down the road, and yet another BELL’S VIREO has been calling in

*************************************************************
The next Madison Audubon field trip is:
Owen Park Wildlife Ponds - Leader Russ Hefty will show us the three
new storm water and wildlife ponds, and discuss what wildlife is there
currently and what we might hope to attract in the future, such as
Wood Ducks. Gourds have been put out to attract Purple Martins. Meet
at 6:30 p.m. in the Owen Park parking lot on the south side of 6021
Old Sauk Rd. The trip will last until 8 p.m. or so. Contact Russ,
(608) 233-8513 or rhefty@ci.madison.wi.us, only if you have a question
about the trip.
Good Birding!
