We have a pretty good sized group for this. Anyone know where the other dave is ? Havent seen him around here for awhile.

If you are planning on attending, please PM me with your cell phone number. I will compile a list and distribute it to everyone later next week. I have a list around here someplace but still can not find it and incase anyone has changed numbers or something it is best to update the list anyway.

After work today I went around the Marsh on Hwy. 49 to scout ahead for next weekend. I have uploaded the wildlife highlights Color is coming on fast too. I only had my new zoom along so I didn't take much in landscape shots.

Weather Report is showing Rain for Saturday and Sunday. Temp around 60 for Sunday. I hope it changes before then.

I saw occasional rain, high of 56. Bring a jacket, or sweatshirt, maybe both. If it rains we can do an auto tour both in the marsh itself, & around the marsh on the auto tour roads. My truck can fit 4 & gear. If my better half loans me her Pacifica we can get 6 & gear. The Mayville Limestone museum is open too.

Bugzeye, I will have my front porch light on, & my accent lights will be on too. Other landmarks I have a fence in front, & a 7' high retaining wall across the front too. As well as a pink truck parked in front.

this sounds like it should be easy to spot. :P

Day
High: 78Â°F RealFeelÂ®: 77Â°F
Intervals of clouds and sunshine with a shower possible; mild
Night
Low: 60Â°F RealFeelÂ®: 57Â°F
Mostly cloudy and mild with a couple of showers

Sounds like it will be a late afternoon shower from the forecast up here. Lets hope so.

10/04/2007 07:45:26 AM · #212

Yep, I just saw the same revised forecast with the emphasis on late showers. Looks like we'll likely be dry for the morning, but probably mostly cloudy.

10/04/2007 09:55:01 AM · #213

I don't want to sound like a party pooper. But 80 degrees with chance of thunderstorms is probably going to mean yellow/grey skys which will provide lousy contrast for the fall colors. I would rather have that 60 degrees they were predicting a few days ago. Hopefully the sky will be powder blue. I have my fingers crossed.

So how many people are still planning on being there Sunday morning?
I will be there Dark and Early ! 5:30am at Ironworkers house.

10/04/2007 07:22:21 PM · #215

Still planning on it, rain or shine. We'll find *something* to shoot, and at very least we'll have a good time hanging out.

ETA: NOAA is now calling for 30% chance of showers after 1PM on Sunday. We may even see some sun. Fingers crossed.

Yep, give me the scent of food, and I'll track it down!

10/04/2007 08:50:02 PM · #219

Where are we going for breakfast ? Still the place in Mayville ? What is it called ?

10/05/2007 07:41:04 AM · #220

Madison WKOWTV's new forecast for Sunday is:

"Partly sunny to mostly cloudy with a few late day showers & t-showers, especially NW."

The Clear Sky Clock also has an optimistic low cloud cover forecast going into early Sunday morning. It's looking better and better....

Now if I could only bring myself to trust and believe the weather man. lol

10/05/2007 11:51:04 PM · #222

Looks like we may have a pretty large turnout for this one. I'll make up a big pot of coffee, anyone needing my cell #, for directions, etc. just private message me. This week I have seen an amazing amount of cranes up here. I have also spotted a number of hawks, & a couple golden eagles, along with pheasants, quail, & Bluejays.. I have also seen a couple of foxes, deer, & a coyote. We aren't at peak color, but still plenty to be seen, still pretty green for October though. I'll also show you a crane of a different variety that my crew has been assembling for the past 3 days.
We will be going to the Backstreet Cafe in Mayville for breakfast around 8ish. Look to be a great day weatherwise. See you Sunday morning.

Channel 27 weather update for Sunday as of Saturday AM: More clouds than sun, warm, & humid with just a couple of isolated showers or thundershowers. Winds: S 7-12.

The Clear Sky Clock shows beautifully clear skies in the early AM bracketing sunrise, with partly cloudy skies starting around 9-10 am. This is the CSC for Beaver Dam.

For those of us gathering at Colin's house between 5 and 5:30, look due east for the crescent moon, Venus, Saturn, and the star Regulus in a tight grouping in the predawn sky. Whadda morning!
