Wisconsin Statewide Birding Report 5.14.09

Bird migration is in full swing as we enter the middle half of May. Birders in southern Wisconsin have reported more than 20 species of warblers in a day and 100 to 150 species in a day of birding. Rare species recorded this past week include numerous reports of summer tanager, black-necked stilts at Horicon, Harris' sparrows at a number of locations, willets along the Lake Michigan shoreline, piping plover in Milwaukee, and a number of worm-eating warbler reports. Shorebird migration has been slow with decent numbers of birds found along the Lake Michigan shoreline and at Horicon Marsh. The upcoming week should bring some of our peak numbers of birds including some of the later warblers like Connecticut, mourning, Canada and many of the later flycatcher species. Please report sightings to Wisconsin eBird  www.ebird.org/WI  to help track migrant bird populations.
