The Birdfreak team read about the most wanted bird list from The Hawk Owl’s Nest and thought it would be fun.
Our 2007 Most Wanted Bird List:
1. Kirtland’s Warbler - nesting in Michigan, it is only a good day’s drive away
2. Worm-eating Warbler - a migrant through northern Illinois and a breeder at Baxter’s Hollow
3. Upland Sandpiper - nests at two nearby locations, Nachusa Grasslands and the Upper Mississippi River NWR
4. Northern Saw-Whet Owl - winter around us but hard to find (although Veery witnessed one being banded)
5. Blue Grosbeak - also nests at Upper Mississippi River NWR
6. Varied Thrush - not likely but we can dream
7. American Golden-Plover - migrate through Illinois
8. Black-backed Woodpecker - U.P. of Michigan or maybe our family farm in N. Wisconsin
9. Evening Grosbeak - N. Wisconsin
10. Ivory-billed Woodpecker - and get a photograph
