This is the birding hotline report of the Madison Audubon Society for
Wednesday, July 5th.

Three HOODED WARBLERS were spotted at the Madison School Forest near
Verona this past week.

Along Enchanted Valley Road near Cross Plains, an observer found an
albino RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD.

NORTHERN BOBWHITES were both heard and seen at Cherokee Marsh.

Birders at Faville Grove Sanctuary in Jefferson County found a singing
DICKCISSEL, and then watched 12 AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS circling
overhead and landing in the Cherokee River. PELICANS have also been
seen regularly in Lake Koshkonong, the most recent sighting being on
the 3rd.

DICKCISSELS have also been reported along Lincoln Road near Oregon by
the bigger homes near the golf course.

A visitor to 9 Springs Natural Area found 6 SOLITARY SANDPIPERS, 29
LEAST SANDPIPERS, and 3 LESSER YELLOWLEGS. He also noted that the
area near the parking lot for 9 Springs is a good place to look for
SEDGE WRENS and WILLOW FLYCATCHERS.

Good birding!
