Pete Thayer's Favorite Hot Spots:
Crex Meadows Wildlife Area
45.81 N   92.73 W
The brush-prairie habitat and nearby wetlands attract a wide variety of species. You may even hear a Yellow Rail. Sandhill Cranes are abundant in the fall.

Devil's Lake State Park
43.42 N   89.73 W
Great scenery and a mix of northern and southern birds can be found here. For worm-eating Warbler, try nearby Baxter's Hollow Preserve. The International Crane Foundation is located just north of here in Baraboo.

Horicon Marsh
43.34 N   88.38 W
Roger Tory Peterson once selected this as one of his top dozen birding spots. HUGE staging area for migrating waterfowl.
