Beautiful day for a walk along Milwaukee's lakefront! Some highlights:
* Marsh Wren in the cattails at the southern end of the Veterans Park lagoon.
Didn't sit still long enough for a photo, but obviously a Marsh Wren. New
species on my Milwaukee BIGBY list!
* Still at least one White-winged Scoter behind the art museum.
* Male Northern Shoveler in the Lakeshore State Park lagoon.
* Still about 15 Scaups hanging out.
* Maybe 25 Ruddy Ducks, including a couple of birds that helped me finally
understand why they are called "ruddy" ducks. These ducks were a deep
reddish-brown chestnut color.
* Very few Red-breasted Meransers.
* One American Coot.
* One Blue-winged Teal (Veterans Park lagoon).
* One Pied-billed Grebe (Veterans Park lagoon).
