Multiple days passed before I realized that the flit out of the corner of my eyes happened way too consistently to be my imagination, so I started paying closer attention.
For three days during my internship this summer, I had the opportunity to conduct bird point counts at Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance's newly acquired property: Hillside Prairie Sanctuary.
We are very fortunate to have Red-headed Woodpeckers—our favorite oak woodland and savanna species—at our Wildland cabin year round for the past couple of years.
