Not sure how appropriate this is, but as I was sitting in the Prague airport, waiting out the first delay before the trip even started, I thought n to myself that this journey is gonna be pretty lonely. So to make it a little less so, I should share with fellow birders.
I am heading to Madison, Wisconsin, when on the 25th a scientific conference starts; in the five days before that, I will rent a car and go northwest towards the great green yonder. Having been to the US several times, I was pleasantly surprised that my list of new species which have a chance to occur in the area has 86 items on it, but I obviously don't hold my hopes so high in late July, but at least 28 species would be nice, to achieve a personal world 2000.
The plan is rather vague: I think i should stop in Duluth, considering how big of an ebird hotspot the bay is and then probably get lost in the woods of the Superior National Forest. The nearby Sax-zim Bog seems to be a huge birding draw, but probably mostly in winter, so I dunno, probably will stop there as well.
If I manage to get a SIM cars and there is coverage, I'll keep you posted intermittently.
