Brown Thrasher
By: Carly Hawkinson
The first thing that comes to mind when I hear
the word thrasher is stories of my grandpa telling
of life on the farm, describing some cumbersome
piece of equipment used to plant, till, hoe, or sow.
Those are old stories of ancient farming techniques used by humans. However, those primitive
ways haven’t been tossed aside by everyone. The
brown thrasher quite possibly could have gotten
its name from the way it thrashes or pitches leaves
and debris in search of food. This large songbird
spends most of its time near the ground. Looking
for beetles, caterpillars, fruits, and nuts they throw
their curved bill around like a farmer pitching hay.
The majority of the thrashers’ time is spent fairly
low to the ground as they run or hop along the
leaves or dart from one shrub to the next. Both
male and female prefer living along the edge of
shrubby vegetation or dense understory.
Brown thrashers migrate individually from
southern states, traveling low from one bush to
another. Flying in spurts they create many links
on their migration route. Arriving ahead of the
female, the male thrasher scopes out his territory
and then perches on top of a tree with his long tail
pointing toward the ground. He stands tall and
proud, boastfully singing a delightful song of varied phrases and pauses. They have a characteristic
song that can be interpreted into our own words,
often quoted as, “drop it, drop it,
cover it
up, cover it up, pull it up, pull it up,
pull it up”; advice that Henry David
Thoreau thought the thrasher was
giving to a farmer on how to plant
corn.
Once the pair has come together, the female
thrasher typically chooses where to build the nest.
The nest is located on or near the ground along the
edge of a forest or fence line. This daring couple
will have 4-5 pale-colored eggs with brown speckled markings. Both parents share the duties of
incubating the eggs and feeding the young. This is
a tight-knit family and any attempt to disturb or
invade their humble surroundings might make the
intruder regret his actions.
The brown thrasher is an aggressive defender of
its nest and will do anything to fend off the unwanted company. They have been known to attack people and animals, hard enough to draw
blood. Not only does this bird “thrash” around
leaf litter, looking for food, but also “thrashes” or
strikes at the enemy with vengeful blows to protect
its family. With their nest situated so close to the
ground, these birds fall victim to many prowling
predators.
Wildlife isn’t the only enemy of this marvelous
sounding songster. In recent years, the brown
thrasher has dwindled in number in most of its
range, maybe because of habitat loss or because
they are occasionally host parents for the brownheaded cowbird.
It is easier to acknowledge the thrasher’s presence with its glorious song than the subdued, camouflage coloring of its plumage. However, if you
do have hawk eyes you’ll see them perched high in
a tree singing a curtain-raising song or scurrying
along the ground, whispering softly to his mate.
Feathers are cinnamon above and white underneath with black streaking, faint
wing bars, a long, narrow tail,
yellow eyes and legs, and a
slightly downward curving
bill. If you do happen to spot
the brown thrasher, make sure you
keep your distance during AprilJune—you wouldn’t want to find out
how it feels when a farmer pitches hay!

tem and signs. These are time-consuming tasks
that enhance the public use of the property but
take away time from DNR efforts to manage the
wildlife habitat on the area. If anyone has an idea
for other committees please contact me.
Hopefully our spirit of volunteerism will continue to make the FOC a successful organization
and maintain Crex Meadows as the wildlife gem it
is.

Thank you Volunteers!
The Friends of Crex cannot exist without volunteers. Our Board of Directors are volunteers. My
spouse Shirley is the volunteer manager of the
gift shop. FOC volunteers
staff the Center on weekends during most of the
year and are also responsible for the successful
spring and fall wildlife
festivals and other special events like the annual
Crex litter cleanup.
During the past year, several special FOC projects were successful due to the extraordinary efforts of a handful of dedicated volunteers.
The new split rail fence at the corner of County
Highway D and F was erected by FOC Treasurer
Alan Roelfs, former FOC Coordinator Don Winter,
and myself. We felt the fence was needed to protect
the restored prairie vegetation by the Crex sign.
Overzealous village roadside mowers were gradually creeping into the prairie. Since there has been
a considerable effort made to restore prairie vegetation in the area we felt an aesthetically pleasing
fence was needed.
Another project closer to the Crex Center was the
asphalt walking path constructed in the newly restored prairie between the public parking lot and
the Crex project sign. A contractor laid the asphalt
path and a crew of FOC volunteers then removed
surplus asphalt along the path’s edges and replaced
it with topsoil to be seeded with prairie plants. The
volunteer crew, composed of Alan Roelfs, Don Winter, Don Anderson, Jerry McNally, John Sauerberg,
Lyman Lang, Harley Lindus, and myself, spent
most of several days wielding picks and shovels.
The prairie path should be open to the public this
coming summer.
Two other FOC volunteers should be recognized
for their extraordinary efforts. Annette and Earl
Mosley regularly drive Crex roads picking up litter.
If it wasn’t for their efforts, most litter would remain along the roads until our spring cleanup.
The FOC Board of Directors began planning volunteer committees to assist in the management efforts on Crex Meadows. Major committees planned
include a volunteer group to maintain the trail sys-

Still Wanted:
Artifacts and memorabilia for exhibits
By: Jim Hoefler
In the previous newsletter (Winter 2005) we
asked our members for items to use in our new
exhibits. We received a nice variety of items including several decoys, hunting clothes, traps,
photos, a few tools, magazines, hunting licenses,
prints, and ammunition boxes. We also found
some old buildings we can tear down for lumber to
build our hunting shack exhibit and several people
invited us to their houses to look at items that may
be suitable.
We have a good start but our search far from
over. We will continue to seek items right up until
the exhibits are completed, probably near the end
of the year. After inventorying what we have, we
narrowed our list to the following. We could really
use your help locating these items.
Historic Items
European Settlement: old plat books and
maps, photos of settlers and homesteads from this
area, old tools used by settlers from this area.
Blueberry/Cranberry Industries: rakes and
other harvesting equipment, crates, barrels, photos of harvest, written information related to these
industries.
Crex Carpet Company: Did you know the Crex
Carpet Company actually made furniture? We
would really like to have a piece of their furniture
for the exhibit. If you like “surfing the net” maybe
you’d like to see if you could locate a piece for us.
We know of a person from Grantsburg who purchased two pieces of Crex furniture from E-bay.
Let us know ASAP if you find anything. We are
also interested in bog shoes and magazine ads.
Hunting Memorabilia
The hunting memorabilia will be for your 19201940 era hunting shack exhibit. We could use a
few more old wooden duck decoys, calendars,
posters, magazines, copies of hunting regulations,
or any other hunting/trapping related items typically found in an old hunting shack.

when wetlands dry these invertebrates become more
available. Shorebirds scurry across mudflats and
search shallow water foraging for these high protein
invertebrates. Our drawdowns and subsequent
mudflats have attracted an array of unique shorebirds. In fact on Grettum last year Stilt’s Sandpiper,
Baird’s Sandpiper and Marbled Godwits utilized the
area.
Once the mud dries something else happens.
What seems like over night, the dark mud begins to
green. Plants grow rapidly pioneering the new
space. Animals continue to use the area consuming
the new greens. Geese especially like the new pastures and sometimes hundreds will flock to a site.
The new vegetation will consist of annuals like
smartweed, bidens, and wild rice. Short lived perennials will also be part of the mix, such as arrowhead and soft stem rush. Many times our reasoning
for conducting a drawdown will be to help establish
vegetation like wild rice. Usually we will also keep a
flowage relatively low for a year or more after a
drawdown, to help promote this new plant diversity.
The last phase of the drawdown is a slow reflooding, with water levels rising into the fall hardened
plants. This inundated plant life is full of preferred
food in the form of seed that waterfowl can easily
access in the shallow water. This new feeding water
can have a dramatic effect, with waterfowl using the
flowage by the thousands. Slow reflooding continues until near freeze-up, when water levels are stabilized for hibernating wetland wildlife. In some flowages reflooding might continue the next year, prolonging the positive effects of the drawdown.
One reason for conducting drawdowns not mentioned yet is for repairs to the dike or water control
structure. In order to do most of these repairs it is
better and safer to have the water out of the flowage.
For example this year we plan to replace the rusted
and corroded Upper Phantom water control structure, of 33 years old.
Now you know the plan, though it might change
depending on rain, beaver or some other aspect of
nature. Also hopefully you can see a little on why we
do water management. So checkout a few drawdown flowages this year, you might see more without the water.
Why Do We Do That?
By Bob Hanson,
Everyone knows Crex Meadows, Fish Lake and
Amsterdam Sloughs has many wonderful wetlands
and flowages that are managed for wildlife. What
you might not realize is that there is a method to the
madness we refer to as The Water Management Plan.
What? A plan dealing with snowmelt, drought, rain
storms, cold, hot, other weather phenomena, and
beaver? Yes, but we will be the first to tell you that it
is an “adaptive management” plan. In short we realize the need to roll with the punches. Well, enough
excuses for why it might not work. This is a “what
and why” abstract of our
2006 season for water
management.
On Crex, as usual, we
plan to conduct several
drawdowns including
Dike 4&5, Hay Creek, and
Upper Phantom. Other
water efforts on Crex include reconditioning the
Management Pool, managing Phantom Lake for rice, and holding Dike 6 low
to prolong the 2005 drawdown effects. Fish Lake has
the start of a three year drawdown process for Dueholm, while either Astrupt or Daniels will be drawndown. Continuing Fish Lake activities from 2005
include slowly filling the new flowage “Bobcat” starting in May, and holding Grettum low to prolong positive effects from last years drawdown. Finally Amsterdam Sloughs will have a drawdown on WWA and
lower levels on Black Brook prolonging last year’s
drawdown. So for the work unit six draw downs and
six “other” management activities are planned.
Draining the water over the summer season has
many wildlife benefits. First as the water becomes
shallow, new feeding areas are made available to waterfowl and wading birds. Ducks, Trumpeter Swans,
Sandhill Cranes and even occasionally a Little Blue
Heron will hunt the shallows. Great Blue Herons
have at times collected on drawdown flowages by the
dozens.
Then as the water disappears, mudflats appear
exposing areas for shorebirds to feed and rest. This
“mudflat” type habitat is critical for spring and fall
migrating shorebirds. It’s nice to have a “Crex stopping place” when you’re migrating from Tierra del
Fuego at the southern tip of South America to nesting
grounds in the Artic, as with the white-rumped sandpiper. Why mud? Shorebirds feed on aquatic invertebrates (water bugs and worms without backbones),

the artwork in the book is by Bob White, our banquet speaker. Another Mert Cowley book “A Palace in the Popples” is available. Bernd Heinrich’s
“Geese of Beaver Bog” is on the shelves along with
his “Winter World” and “Ravens in Winter”. All
are informative and interesting reading.
As stated in the last newsletter we have quite a
few new children’s books. “Owl Puke” which includes an owl pellet, should be of interest to inquisitive girls and boys. And, as the picture shows,

by Dawn Publications is of interest to someone's
special granddaughter. Check out the

The quilted loon
wall hanging donated by Barbara
Sweet will either be
auctioned off or possibly sold outright at
the May Birding Festival. It is presently on display
in the gift shop. Besides the various quilting patterns available some might be interested in the
book “Wild Birds: Designs for Applique and Quilting” which has complete directions for eight projects, 22 full-size patterns. Gardeners will likely be
interested in the Richard Lamson songbird garden
stakes. They are 38” high, hand-cast and mounted
on sturdy metal stakes.

Shirley C Everard, Volunteer Gift Shop Manager
Friends of Crex members look forward to
springtime and especially
to the return of “the

interesting and educational items for the Bogshoe Gift Shop.
Carly Hawkinson, our
Friends of Crex Volunteer
Coordinator and Wildlife
Educator is very enthusiastic and will work well
with our many loyal volunteers and will likely convince other Friends of
Crex members to volunteer their time and expertise
to the Center. We need and do appreciate every one
of you.
A new item in the shop is personalized wildlife
magnetic bookmarks that sell for $1.99 or 3 for $5.
More finger puppets are available as well as the larger puppets including the great horned owl and raccoon. I’m hoping to acquire trumpeter swan puppets but it looks like the company went out of business – I will keep pursuing this purchase as I know
how popular the Crex trumpeters are. Five new
plush singing birds are here but we need to reduce
the inventory of the others before purchasing more.
Butterflies, wildflowers and birds including waterfowl are on the latest unique 1000-piece puzzles.

and other debris.
We always need a few people to come into the Visitor Center to help put together mailings several
times a year. We send out three newsletters and
other various mailings throughout the year.
The benefits of volunteering at Crex Meadows are
numerous. We hold a volunteer appreciation dinner in the fall that coincides with our Annual Membership Meeting. When you spend any amount of
time at the Visitor Center you will learn so many
new things about Crex Meadows and all the wonderful things that go on here, and if you work out in
the field you are sure to see some interesting wildlife along the way. Of course, the obvious benefit is
in knowing that you personally are doing something
good that benefits Crex Meadows.
If you would like more information about any of
the volunteer opportunities mentioned here please
contact Carly Hawkinson, Jim Hoefler, or Kim
Dauer at the Visitors Center.
Volunteering at Crex
By Kim Dauer
Without the help of our volunteers, Crex Meadows, as we know it, would be much different. In the
past many people have stepped up to the plate and
helped in many ways. Today we still have many
wonderful volunteers whom we appreciate more
than words can possibly say. But we are finding
that we need more help.
Due to the heavy traffic at our beautiful new Visitor Center last season we need to expand the number of volunteer staff on the weekends and we could
use help on some weekdays during the spring and
fall when we have lots of school children here.
One misconception that we have heard is that volunteers must work all weekend or more than one
time during the season, which is not the case. Volunteers can sign up for a Saturday OR a Sunday or
both, or one or more days during the week. The
Visitors Center is staffed with volunteers from
10am to 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays from April
through October. There are many places nearby to
stay if you are coming up from the Twin Cities or
elsewhere, including the James McNally Campground right in Grantsburg. It may even be possible that a bunkhouse could be available for volunteer use although you would need to check with us
in advance. If you are interested in volunteering to
staff the Visitors Center, please see the sign-up
form insert included in this newsletter on pg. 7.
Another great volunteer opportunity coming up is
the Annual Crex Clean-Up Day, which will take
place on Saturday April 22nd. Volunteers are
treated to coffee and doughnuts at the Visitor Center before the clean-up and a lunch afterwards. The
wildlife area is separated into several sections and
each team of volunteers are assigned a different
area or stretch of road or trail to clean. We have
included a sign-up sheet in this newsletter if you
are interested in participating.
We have several other small and large volunteer
opportunities available, including filling the feeders
at the Visitor Center (we do not currently have the
feeders up because there is no one who can keep
them filled on a regular basis). A Grantsburg local
would be ideal for this task. We also need someone
to help maintain and improve the landscaping
around the Visitor Center, or at least to coordinate
other volunteers to help. If you prefer to do something outdoors, we have a frog and owl survey to
conduct, and we are looking for people to periodically walk the hiking trails to clear downed limbs
VOLUNTEER ALERT!
We are looking for people to walk the various trails in Crex Meadows and Fish Lake
Wildlife Areas in order to help map them and
to keep them clear throughout the year. Initially, some trails need to be mapped with GPS
units, which we have available, so that we can
include them on the maps of the areas. Then
we need volunteers to either “Adopt” a trail or
walk them a time or two throughout the year
to clear branches and other debris and to let
the maintenance crews know when we need
them to perform some maintenance on the
trails.
Since the budget cuts a few years ago, the
funding is simply not available from the state
for all of the trails to be mowed and maintained currently by the Crex maintenance
crew. Another idea we have discussed is to
have area businesses and individuals help to
fund maintenance of the trails through an
“Adopt-A-Trail” program. We will be working on developing a program over the next few
months. If anyone has any ideas or is willing
to help on a committee to organize this effort,
please contact Kim Dauer or Carly Hawkinson.
The trails are there for everyone to use, and
it would be wonderful if we could keep them
in good shape!

New Hawk in Town
New FOC Bookeeper
By Carly Hawkinson
By Kim Dauer
Hello and Happy Spring to you!
My name is Carly Hawkinson and
I am the new Natural Resources/Office Operations Assistant here at Crex Meadows. I’m
taking over Don Winters position. His shoes will be hard to fill
(especially his off-the-wall humor) and since my feet
are much smaller, I’ll have a lot of room to grow, and
so will my new ideas and talents to add to this diamond in the rough.
I have come to Crex with a slough of experiences
and education. I was born and raised on a farm in
Scandia, Minnesota. I attended the University of
Minnesota-Duluth, graduating in 1999, with a major
in Geography, Outdoor Education, and French.
I’ve worked seasonally for the National Park Service at the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway and
the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor. I also
interned for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at the
Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge on Kauai.
I obtained an elementary teaching certificate from the University of Wisconsin-River
Falls and became certified to teach in Wisconsin
and Minnesota. I’ve also worked at a couple of nature centers, William O’Brien State Park and substitute teaching at surrounding school districts.
I am excited to be a part of the Crex Meadows
crew, and to learn and gain a flood of new knowledge and skills here. I look forward to meeting and
getting to know all of you and am eager to continue
the mission of educating the public about nature and
the importance of Crex Meadows.
There’s something magical about Crex Meadows
that has drawn me to it since I was about 10 years
old. I grew up visiting the area several times a year
while going to my parents cabin near Danbury. As I
got older I developed a love for birding, with much
of my life list being seen first at Crex. To me there
is no better place in the Midwest to find such a wide
variety of birds throughout the year. Even now I
still delight in seeing my first Bald Eagle or Sandhill
Crane each year, and now that I live here I am excited to learn more about this great place.
My family has just relocated to Grantsburg from
Jamestown, North Dakota. Previous to that we
lived in the Twin Cities. My husband, Larry, is a
machinist at McNally Industries. We have 2 children, Adeline, who is 2 1/2 years old, and Maxwell,
who was born in January 2006.
My work experience includes several years in
marketing and project management and I was most
recently employed by a non-profit educational organization in Jamestown as their office manager. I
work part-time with the Friends of Crex
book work and I will also spend time
finding new ways to increase membership. I also will help Carly and Jim with
other projects as they come up and will
be working with the weekend volunteers. I am very excited to be working for
Friends of Crex and with all the wonderful
people here.
I look forward to visiting with our members
and visitors to the Crex Visitor Center. I will
be here mainly on the weekends from April
through October. Please stop by and see me!
