’14 GUIDE - PAGE 5 GUIDE The land of wildlife The Headwaters Country of Vilas, Oneida and Forest counties harbors the highest concentration of endangered and unique wildlife found anywhere in Wisconsin, from common loons and bald eagles to those species that are seldom seen, like the sawwhet owl pictured on this year’s cover. This young-of-the-year owl was photographed in Three Lakes where it was hiding in a shaded balsam tree during daylight hours. Young saw-whets have more coloration than their mature counterparts and a unique strip of white between the eyes. They are extremely nocturnal. —Staff Photo By KURT KRUEGER WATCH FOR THE 2 0 1 5 H E A DWAT E R S A R E A G U I D E Coming April 2015 NOTE: To update or add information or to have your business represented, call (715) 479-4421.
