One thing that I noticed while monitoring by car as opposed to foot is that many buildings have overhangs, awnings, lips, gated courtyards and the like. These...

Nancy! I too can go early Thursday AM. I would like to go by car as much as possible as I will need time to sleep before going to work in the afternoon. We...

Hi, Karen -- Why don't we meet at our old place, on Water St., just north of Wisconsin? There's plenty of lighted parking for the car we don't use. How long...
Hello other monitors, I have been monitoring the same route I worked on in the springtime. I don't know what its been named, I don't have that info. I am...
I hope others were more on-the-ball than I was this morning and got out to do some monitoring. Coming out of the Breadsmith on Downer at 7:30 this morning I...
To Wings monitors, I got out while it was still quite dark this morning. I could hear birds migrating overhead. I expected to find birds. Fortunately I didn't....
This morning wasn't a good one for migrants. Found three dead and and captured 3 others. A seventh eluded my net and flew up into the tree. While capturing a...
I slept in, after reading Bill's post I sure wish I wouldn't have. So often I find a bird an hour after I have walked the same area, I would encourage everyone...
I had a different experience this morning. Got downtown about 4:45 and heard migrants continually overhead. Was thinking how nice it was they had a nice...
Nothing found on my rounds, either. It was also very silent, compared to early on Wednesday when there were birds overhead constantly. Nancy Davlantes ... ...
Hi All: We released several WIngs/window collision birds from the rehab center last Saturday, including: one Tennessee Warbler, a Wood Thrush, two blackpoll...
Sure Scott, I can come over to the WHS tomorrow (Wed.) and pick up a few. It's always a pick-me-up to release birds after having only picked up only dead...

John I.has posted to the birdnet that last night was the largest migration of the year. By chance I was able to go out this morning. Had to move fast because...
Bill and All: Yes, let's keep track of the non-natives we find. This will help us get a better picture of the species affected. Thus far, it appears that the...
I also went out early Friday morning thinking that because of the change in the weather there might be birds, but I found not a one. Nancy Davlantes Greendale ...
Vivian and I went out on our rounds this a.m. thinking we'd find no birds because it was so clear outside. We didn't find any dead ones, but did flush a bird...
This problem occurs at the US Bank bldg as well. The first floor with its tall ceiling and multiple trees inside may be confusing birds. I have picked up 3...

The US Bank problem is made worse by them having trees inside; the birds see the trees as a refuge and try to fly to them, but of course hit the glass instead....
Hi All, 1). John Idzikowski has indicated on Wisbirdnet that there may be a significant passage of birds following a cold front tonight. Thursday and Friday...
Hi Gang, I checked out the Courthouse skywalk that I wrote you about earlier today. Please note that I consider this to be somewhat of a security risk area...
I was expecting to wake up to rain, but when I headed downtown at 4:30, the sky was pretty clear and winds were gusting out of the NNW. Vivian and I found no...
Hi All, PLEASE remember to report ALL monitoring activities, even if you don't find any birds, on the WIngs website reports page. I know there were some...
As predicted the winds turned from the north over night and as a result we had what was probably the biggest migration this fall. I found a dead White-throated...
Scott, It's not clear to me how to report mornings when we've monitored and not found anything. Should we put in where we monitored under "1st Bird Location...
