Just a quick note - I had to run up to Door County for a meeting yesterday.
On the way, we took a sidetrack on Lake Michigan Drive, off of County U, south
of Sturgeon Bay.
At the north end of Lake Michigan Drive, there is a park. The park has a very
nice sand beach, and it is at the east end of the shipping channel. Directly
across, on the north side of the channel is the Coast Guard Station, and
Pierhead.
On the concrete pier was a young Glaucous Gull, larger than the surrounding
Herring Gulls, and pure white. There were a lot of gulls on that pier, probably
more interesting specimens if one had time to scan for a while.
In the water just below the pier was a Loon - Pacific we think. It had more
white visible than a Common as it flew away. I can't be certain, as we did not
get a long look at the bird. But this looks to be a good spot to find
interesting birds.
