On Tuesday, March 9th (2021) both the red-winged blackbirds and the turkey vultures returned to Devil’s Lake State Park! While many of the vultures will stay, some will just take a short rest here before heading out to their summer haunts across central Wisconsin.
Sandhill cranes returned to the Baraboo hills this week as well. Now we’re just waiting for the Great Blue Heron who have a rookery at the park.

For nearly 2 decades the Skillet Creek blog has focused on 3 main goals; To inspire you to visit and explore the Devil’s Lake region, to help you get the most your visit by sharing tips, events, and other helpful information.
