Birds in Art Wings Its Way to
Woodson Art Museum
With wings aflutter, Birds in Art arrives for its annual autumn celebration at
the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin. The 24th
edition of this esteemed exhibition opened on Saturday, September 11, offer-
ing both visual and ornithological delights for art-lovers and bird-lovers
through November 7.
A time-honored focal point of Birds in Art is the work of a designated Master
Wildlife Artist. Honored this year will be Anne Senechal Faust, a serigrapher
who resides in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Faust, the first printmaker - and the
first woman - to be named a Master Artist by the Woodson Art Museum, will
be represented with 12 graphics, dating from 1977 to 1999, that demonstrate
her masterful handling of shapes and colors that range from bold to subtle.
Birds in Art once again brings together, in spirit of avian bonhomie, works
by an international roster of artists who find endless inspiration in the graceful
shapes, iridescent colors, and varying habitats of birds the world over. The
exhibition comprises 115 paintings, works on paper, and sculptures by 104
artists who hail from Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, France, Japan, The
Netherlands, Scotland, South Africa, Sweden, and the United States.
The international scope of Birds in Art is seen not only in the roll call of artists
but also in the globe-spanning locales of their work. For example, Robert
Bateman takes you to a sacred grove in Bali filled with a variety of egrets,
while Richard Sloan combines two of his favorite subjects - scarlet macaws
and Mayan ruins.
Birds and scenery from Australia, Africa, and Asia can be found in great
numbers, ranging from the pandani groves of Tasmania to Tanzania’s
Ngorongoro Crater. Works by Europeans cover the Swedish sea coast, Scottish
highlands, and English countryside. Not to be outdone, the familiar birds of
our North American lakes, fields, and forests - and even our city streets - hold
their own against the foreign competition.
Of the 526 artists who entered 919 artworks for jury consideration, 91 had
works selected for the 1999 exhibition. Among this group, 18 are newcomers
to Birds in Art. The juried artists will be joined by Faust and 12 previous
Master Wildlife Artists - all of whom bring a broad range of artistic styles to
their interpretations of Earth’s feathered inhabitants. Every work in the exhibi-
tion, as well as a statement by each artist, is included in a 124-page full-color
catalogue. A red-breasted toucan by Anne Faust is featured on the Birds in Art
poster.
The Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, which is open free of charge
year-round, is located at the corner of Franklin and 12th Streets on Wausau’s
east side. Hours are Tuesday 9 a.m. - 8 p.m.; Wednesday - Friday, 9 a.m. - 4
p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday, noon - 5 p.m. For information about Birds in
Art, ordering a catalogue or poster, or any of the many education programs
scheduled during the exhibition, call 715-845-7010 or e-mail

Field Trips for Fall
Oct. 3, 10, 17 & 24 Scope Days at
Goose Pond
PLEASE NOTE!
Due to the extremely dry condi-
tions Goose Pond has little or no
water this fall. Therefore Scope Days
have been canceled as this issue goes
to press. In the event we receive
heavy rains in early October, call
ahead for pond conditions or to
check if scopes will be set up.
If you have questions, call Dorothy
Haines at 221-1948 or the MAS
office, 255-BIRD.
Sunday, Oct. 10: Mushroom Meander
Tom Volk, Dan Lindner
Czederpiltz, and Diane Derouen will
lead this mushroom walk in wood-
lands of Dane or Sauk County. Tom is
a mycologist teaching at the
University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse,
Dan works with fungi as a graduate
student at UW-Madison, and Diane is
a lab coordinator for the
UW-Madison fungi course. We may
find some edible mushrooms, so
mycophagists might like to bring col-
lecting containers.
We will carpool and leave from
Kohl’s supermarket parking lot in
Middleton at the intersection of Allen
Boulevard and Century Avenue
(County Hwy M) at 1:00 pm. The trip
should last 3 to 4 hours. If you have
questions, call Dan at 255-5625.
Sat., October 16: Ecology
of the Baraboo Hills
Mike Mossman will lead this natural
history tour into The Nature
Conservancy’s Baxter’s Hollow. Mike
is a native of the Baraboo area, who
grew up hiking throughout these hills.
He carried out his Wildlife Ecology
master’s thesis field research on the
bird communities of stream gorges in
the Baraboo Hills.
This morning hike in Baxter’s
Hollow will be about a 3 hour leisure-
ly hike with Mike explaining the bio-
logical significance of this unique
geological area. Otter Creek, one of
the most pristine streams in
Wisconsin, flows out of Baxter’s
Hollow. The paths in Baxter’s Hollow
are not maintained and can be rugged
in places. Mike will explain the
diverse plant communities and identi-
fy any late fall woodland migrant and
resident birds.
Meet to carpool at 8:00 a.m. in the
parking lot at the Middleton Kohl’s
grocery store at the intersection of
Allen Boulevard and Century Ave
(County Hwy. M). Bring binoculars,
hiking shoes, water, rain gear and
dress appropriately for the weather. If
you wish, bring a lunch for an option-
al picnic at the end of the trip.
You may meet Mike at 9 a.m. at
Baxter’s Hollow. Directions: Take U.S.
Hwy. 12 northwest of Sauk City for
7.5 miles to the intersection with Cty.
Hwy. C, across from the Badger Army
Ammunition Plant. Turn left (west) on
Cty. C and travel 1.5 miles to Stone’s
Pocket Road. Turn right (north) and
drive about 2.75 miles into the woods
and park at the gate in front of the
large “Baxter’s Hollow” preserve sign.
(This is located at a corner where the
paved road turns into a gravel road). If
you have questions, call Mike at (608)
544-5501.
Sat.,Oct 23: Lake Michigan Fall
Migrants
Carol Anderson and Tony Kalenic
will lead this all day field trip to Lake
Michigan. The third week of October
is usually the peak of migration for
scoters and other waterfowl along
Lake Michigan. We will also be look-
ing for late migrant shorebirds, land-
birds and whatever else we can find.
The trip will go to Milwaukee and
then hop north to various spots along
the lakeshore. Bring a lunch and dress
for possible damp and cool weather.
Especially if there is an east wind, it
can be much cooler along the lake.
You may also want to bring a lawn-
chair or stool since we may spend
considerable time at each location
scoping the lake.
We will meet to carpool in the mid-
dle of the parking lot of the east side
Cub Foods. From Highway 30 take 51
(Stoughton Road) north and then turn
right onto Nakoosa Trail and proceed
east to Cub Foods. We will carpool
and leave at 6:30am. We will return
to Cub foods between 4:30 and
6:00pm. If you have a question about
this trip, you can call Carol or Tony at
249-8836.
Sat Nov 13: Birding Hotspot Trip
Carol Anderson and Tony Kalenic
will lead this trip. Our plan is to call
local and state hotlines and then go to
the hottest birding location in south-
ern Wisconsin. Bring a lunch as the
trip will last at a minimum into early
afternoon. Depending on what birds
are around we may make this a local
trip, such as to Goose Pond or Devil’s
Lake, or go as far as Lake Michigan. If
we do go to Lake Michigan, this will
be an all day trip. Possible late
fall/early winter migrants at this time
include Snowy Owl, Townsend’s
Solitaire, Barrow’s Goldeneye or any
of a number of other possibilities. To
find out where we plan to go, you can
call Tony or Carol at 249-8836 the
week prior to the trip although we
reserve the right to decide at meeting
time if something good shows up at
the last minute.
We will meet to carpool in the mid-
dle of the parking lot of the east side
Cub Foods. From Highway 30 take 51
(Stoughton Road) north and then turn
right onto Nakoosa Trail and proceed
east to Cub Foods. We will carpool
and leave at 6:30am. We will return
to Cub foods anywhere from mid-
afternoon to 6:00pm. We will
announce a return time once we have
decided where we’re going.

NATIONAL ACTION ALERT!
NAS’ “Kill the Condors?”
Campaign May Save it
Daniel P. Beard
Senior Vice President for Public Policy
Recently the National Audubon Society has
launched a campaign to stop the newest lethal threat
to the California condor - an Enron Corporation pro-
posed wind farm literally next door to US Fish and
Wildlife Service designated critical California condor
habitat.
The California condor is perched on the brink of
extinction. A controversial captive-breeding program
has succeeded in restoring about 50 condors back into
the wild in California. The California condor is being
given a rare second chance to roam the skies again.
Yet, at this critical moment in the recovery of the
California condor, Enron is proposing to build a giant
condor death trap. They plan to build 53 wind turbines
at the crossroads of the California condors’ range. Two
hundred-foot tall spinning blades would be placed in
the heart of Condor Pass. This must be stopped.
Wind power may well play an important role in
America’s energy future. But the choice here is clear. If
Enron builds this wind farm there is little future for the
California condor. The survival of the condor comes
first.
In our effort to save the California condor, we are
launching the “Kill the Condor?” campaign. Billboards
with this question and the web site www.condor-
pass.org are up in Los Angeles and Houston, the cor-
porate home of Enron. To help educate Members of
Congress, we have placed this advertisement in
Capitol Hill publications and are distributing this
brochure to the Senate and House of Representatives.
The brochure can be viewed on the web site.
Fortunately, we believe there is a solution. The Wind
Energy Tax Credit expired this summer. Without this
federal tax subsidy, Enron would not find it profitable
to build the wind farm at Condor Pass. We urge that
when the Congress renews the Wind Energy Tax
Credit, it say that no wind farm can receive the federal
tax subsidy if it is within 10 miles of designated critical
condor habitat. We urge people to contact their
Members of Congress in support of the condor and this
vital change in the Wind Energy Tax Credit. People
can use the web site to send this message to Congress.
The California condor is one of the rarest of North
America’s birds. The Fish and Wildlife Service spends
a million dollars a year to try and help this magnificent
bird recover in the wild. It is hard to imagine a worse
idea than putting a condor Cuisinart next door to criti-
cal condor habitat.
Kill the Condor? The answer must be no. We look
forward to working with Members of Congress and the
public to ensure a future in the skies for the California
condor.
Birds find
“holy” home
at Madison
monastery
by Kathi Koegle
What bird wouldn’t love it?—130
wooded acres nestled in a scenic
countryside setting that overlooks the
city of Madison and Lake Mendota. Since the 1950s, when the
Sisters of Saint Benedict established Saint Benedict Center, the
property has provided the perfect oasis for birds and other
wildlife. It is a hallmark of the 1,500-year-old Benedictine tradi-
tion to care for the land and its creatures.
In 1995, the sisters initiated the Saint Benedict Center prairie
and wetland restoration project as part of a comprehensive plan
to preserve natural resources. The restoration project preserves
now-rare prairie and wetland ecosystems and provides habitat
for wildlife, endangered plants and migratory birds. In July
1996, the Saint Benedict Center prairie and wetland restoration
plan was approved as one of two demonstration projects of the
Lake Mendota Priority Watershed.
With the help of the Bruce Company, the sisters recently
dredged 85,000 cubic yards of silt from a 10,000-year-old lake
located on the property. They also created a wetland and are
restoring 60 of the center’s 130 acres to upland prairie.
Members of the Saint Benedict Center staff and Governor
Nelson State Park, along with hundreds of volunteers, are seed-
ing this area with native grasses and wildflowers once
indigenous to this place.
One notable result of these environmental initiatives at the
center is the increase in the bluebird population. Paul
Baumgartner, long time bluebird volunteer, has been faithfully
checking 24 nesting boxes on the center grounds. He noted lots
more activity in 1999 and an increase in the number of
fledglings.
Dan Doeppers, who serves on the geography department fac-
ulty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has chronicled
bird life at Saint Benedict Center for the last 20 years. Dan’s
census of more than 85 species always includes commentary
on unusual and unique findings. In January 1998, he sighted a
pair of Cooper’s Hawk adults “...in an energetic aerial pre-
courtship display just above the trees behind the conference
center. On the same day, an uncommon winter visitor
appeared—a Northern Goshawk—hunting in the north wood
lot and along the fence rows around the back cornfield.”
At Saint Benedict Center, you’ll find a bevy of birds, includ-
ing: juncos, English sparrows, red-tailed hawks, swallows,
evening grosbeaks, mourning doves, great blue herons, eastern
Kingbirds, cedar waxwings, chipping sparrows and indigo
buntings, to name a few. A number of migratory birds pass
through as well: osprey, solitary sandpiper, Wilson’s warbler,
ruby crowned kinglets, and gadwalls.
Saint Benedict Center is located 20 minutes from downtown
Madison and the university. To learn more about the sisters’
environmental initiatives, please call Neal Smith at 608-836-
1631, extension 115, or visit our website at www.sbcenter.org.
Kathi Koegle serves as marketing manager for Sisters of Saint
Benedict of Madison.
Low Water Levels
By Mark and Sue Martin
Goose Pond looks much different this
year compared to last year when the west
pond was full of arrowhead plants and
there was a stand of them on the east
pond. Last year water levels were lower
than normal but averaged about 1-1.5 feet
deep.
This year the west pond is again full of
arrowheads while the only arrowheads on
the east pond are found around the pond
perimeter. Water levels in the east pond
are low (8 inches on average) while the
west pond is almost dry.
Prairie potholes like Goose Pond are
known for dynamic changes in water lev-
els and our water levels varied greatly in
the past. In 1988, the pond was dry while
in 1993 water levels were about 5 feet
deep with many acres flooded outside of
the normal pond.
What caused the changes this year? Our
guess is that overall water levels were low
due to the small amount of spring runoff
the past couple of years. Spring is the
time when most of the water enters Goose
Pond. In the past, Del Monte Canning fac-
tory’s “can cooling” water entered the
pond during the summer months.
However, this year the canning factory
did not operate. Our guess on why there
is water in the east pond and not the west
is that the arrowheads in the west pond
transpired a lot of water.
What causes the difference in the abun-
dance of arrowheads? Someone suggest-
ed that herbicide runoff may have caused
the reduction of arrowheads in the east
pond.
These changes can have positive and
negative impacts. Shorebirds found ideal
feeding conditions this late summer and
fall and the peregrine falcon that Sue
sighted in early September benefited from
the increase in shorebird population.
Waterfowl find excellent feeding condi-
tions in stands of arrowheads but rarely
visit dry wetlands. Muskrat populations
are also greatly reduced in drought years.
Drought conditions do not help the exist-
ing wetland plants but mud flats provide
ideal conditions for many wetland plants
to germinate and when water returns,
waterfowl and muskrats find ideal condi-
tions.
Higher water levels will return and we
look forward to observing future changes
at Goose Pond.
