Hi all,
Todd Ward and I hit a few spots on Lake Michigan today, nothing that unusual
but 65-70 species was a nice total, especially as it was pretty chilly in the
wind at times.
Highlights:
Green Bay - Black-Bellied Plover, Canvasback, Semi-P Plover, Lincoln's Sparrow,
Blackpoll Warbler, YR Warbler, American Pipit.
Point Beach - BB Plover, 9 Sanderling, Lesser Black-Backed Gull on the beach.
In the woods there was a real changing of the seasons: Parula, BT Green, YR &
Blackburnian Warblers & a pair of very co-operative Blue-Headed Vireos were all
surely saying farewell. RB Nuthatches, Junco's, Fox, WT & WC Sparrows, Brown
Creeper, both Kinglets, YB Sapsucker, Hermit Thrushes and Pine Siskins heralded
cooler times.
Manitowoc - lots of YR Warblers and a single Palm in the brush, Pec Sand and
Sora on the lagoon, and most bizarrely of all, 4 Moorhens out on the lake.
As Tom mentioned there was no raptor movement today which was a surprise. Nine
species of Sparrow was nice although we had hoped for a rarer one.
Good Birding,
Stuart Malcolm
