John Wallner and I birded Wright County today from 6:00-2:30. We have never done Wright before. We began in fog at 33 degrees. We visited about half of the sites I had targeted. That's the bad news. The good news is that we had (first rough count) 142 species. There were two Cattle Egrets at the Annandale sewage ponds. At two small wet areas south of #39 and about 2 or 3 miles east of #8 we found 13 shorebird species, including one Avocet. We also found all four terns, five woodpeckers, eight flycatchers including three sightings of a Western Kingbird, all six swallows, 20 warblers including Cape May and Bay-breasted, and 10 sparrows.
