Attention birders! Grab your binoculars and cameras!
The Daily Bucket is a regular feature of the Backyard Science group. It is a place where we share our observations about the natural world. Whether we note the spring migrating birds or the first buds on your trees, we are building a resource to learn more about the patterns of nature and how they may be changing. Everyone is welcome to contribute! Please share what you are seeing in your neighborhood and approximately where your observations come from.
Gooseville, Wisconsin
One of the rarest of the New World warblers is rumored to be frequenting a small woodlot along the North Branch of the Milwaukee River. The elusive Packer's Warbler was first discovered, identified and named by the famous exploratory team of G. Calhoun and C. Lambeau on August 11, 1919, on the west shore of Lake Michigan near a large bay.
This small passerine's spirited song and persistent, defensive loyalty within its territory is legendary.
