I birded from Sheboygan to Two Rivers this morning. Sheboygan was
excellent for gulls with 7 species tallied. They included, beside
the standard two, 170 Bonaparte's, 1 Franklin's, 1 Little, 1 Lesser
Black-backed and 1 Great Black-backed. The Little, and the Great
were 1st year birds, while the Lesser was a 2nd year bird. The
Franklin's was in almost full adult plumage.
Cleveland, Fischer Creek, Manitowoc and Two Rivers were exceptionally
quiet. In fact, there is no gull/shorebird habitat at the Manitowoc
impoundment---all grown up. A female Bufflehead and 13 Hooded
Mergansers were along the shore by the parking lot.
Collins Marsh has developing shorebird habitat, as Bob mentioned.
Today there were 25 Lesser Yellowlegs, 25 Least and 1 Semip
Sandpipers, 20 Killdeer and 1 Wilson's Phalarope.
