Hi all,
I birded some of the lakefront in Milwaukee this morning and for the most
part, very quiet. One Caspian Tern at McKinley Marina and 500 + Bonaparteâs
Gull at Grant Park were the highlights that I could find along the lake.
The lakefront was very cold with a stiff north wind, a few times the sun
felt great. Stopped at Whitnall and just a few Ruby-crownd Kinglets and
Yellow-rumped Warblers were present, along with typical birds we see and
birds that have been reported this time of year. I crossed paths with Bruce
and we headed up to Greenfield Park for a last stop. There was a Great Blue
Heron, a 1st year, a bird born last summer, putting on a great show,
catching fish, preening and do what Great Blue Herons do. It was nice to
wind down the morning with a little excitement with the heron.
Some images of the Great Blue Heron fishing and catching fish today at this
link if you care to view them:

Thanks and good birding,
