This is the birding hotline report of the Madison Audubon Society for
Friday, April 21st.

Migrants continue to arrive in our area although they've slowed a bit
because of the weather.

AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS have been reported several times this past
week as they fly northward. They have been spotted over Odana Ponds,
Lake Kegonsa, Lake Waubesa, and Lower Mud Lake.

An observer at Odana Ponds noted finding GREEN HERONS, BARN SWALLOWS,
and a WILSON'S SNIPE this past week.

New warblers seen at Pheasant Branch this past week include PINE,
TENNESSEE, and PALM WARBLERS.

Only a small number of shorebirds has been seen at 9 Springs Natural
Area. The habitat just isn't right yet, and should improve.

A WESTERN MEADOWLARK was present near the intersection of Patton and
Hahn Roads in northern Dane County.
