Had a good two hours in and about the Wet Woods in Tommy Thompson Park this morning before the rain settled in. In no particular order:
- Yellow-throated Vireo on the flooded trail between the parking lot and Wet Woods
- Lincoln's Sparrow in the same place
- Great Crested Flycatcher in the same place
- American Bittern in the teeter-totter slough
- Warblers: Yellow, Yellow-rumped, Black-throated Blue, Black-throated Green, Blackburnian, Ovenbird, Northern Waterthrush (at least three, all very vocal)
- Rose-breasted Grosbeak, dozens throughout
- Bobolink, several in the Bowl
- Brown Thrasher
The amazing aspect was the sheer number of birds and the noise they made, with many of the males in full song.

Words cannot express my envy! - You had a magical morning in THE magical spot. Very exciting, Ed, what a list. I really must stop working and get my priorities straight...
