Some frustration to report: because we had a Phalarope last year at
South metro in Oak Creek, I thought it might be a natural spot for the
Sheboygan bird to stop. However, South Metro has erected some very
strong "messages" to not enter the site in the form of orange barricade
mesh. Trying to enter the site yesterday caused some security personnel
to call me on it. I will try to contact them this week with a request
for entry, and hope that we have access especially for our Hales Corners
CBC.

Subject: [wisb] No sign of the Sheboygan Phalarope
Hi All,
I spent a few hours at Sheboygan late morning thru lunchtime but I could
find no
trace of the Red Phalarope.�
There were hundreds of Red-Breasted Mergansers in a feeding frenzy
around the
point but I could only find a few Horned Grebes associating with them.
The
Merlin was showing beautifully in the trees behind the car park - easily
the
best view I've ever had of one, and extremely photogenic. The only other
birds
of note where two adult Glaucous Gulls and a male Hooded Merganser.
The Merlin made a couple of low passes over the shore so I'm wondering
about the
Phalarope................
At Collins Marsh I had a possible American Pipit but it was a too brief
look in
the strong wind. However this was good for raptors with three Bald
Eagles, two
female Northern Harriers, and best of all two Rough-Legged Hawks, one of
which
caught something quite close to where I was watching. Also at least 7
American
Kestrels whilst driving around today.
A few photos from today here:
