All who are interested
Because of I-94 construction and also 75th St. Construction in Kenosha
your directions should read I-94 to 50. East on 50 to Green Bay Road ( WI
31) South on 31 to 165. East on 165 to Sheridan Road ( WI 32) South on 32
to 7th Street in Winthrop Harbor. Follow Tom's directions to Stateline
Beach.

Beach so I thought I would post directions for anybody who is planning on
trying to find the California Gull.

> Since I'm not too familiar with the Kenosha/Winthrop Harbor area this may
not be the best way to get there but it is the way I took and it worked
fine. From I94/41 exit at Hwy 165 towards Pleasant Prairie. Drive east
towards Lake Michigan to Hwy 32 (also called Sheridan Rd) and follow it
south into Illinois. You will see brown signs for the North Point
Marina--follow them and once you enter the marina continue north as far as
you can go and you will see the beach parking lot.

> One note is that there is quite a bit of construction on the I94/41 on and
off ramps so in case 165 is closed just take any other main East/West exit
in the area to the east and it will eventually lead to Hwy 32.

> As Sean, Bob, and I have posted previously-- the beach is in Illinois and
the WI/IL border is marked by a channel immediately north of the beach. When
I saw the gull it was in Wisconsin for 5 seconds out of my 2.5 hour
observation so it may take some patience to see this bird fly into WI once
you find it.
