[wisb] Northern Waterthrush Lions Den Ozaukee Co

The clouds were covering lake park this morning so I headed up to Lion's Den on 
the lake south of Port Washington. Beautiful morning with 8 species of common 
warblers - redstart bt green pine black & white palm tennessee magnolia and 
wilsons , 1 vireo - still working on ID, many many Swainson Thrush, many Cedar 
Waxwings, 3 Wood Ducks  2 Belted Kingfishers song sparrow and other normal 
citizens. The highlight was on the wooden platform that looks north toward the 
small inland lake. There were 8-10 Northern Waterthrush feeding right next to 
the platform. Easily the closest looks I've had of them in a long time. They 
were feeding on top of the algae, jockeying with each other and singing like 
crazy. If you are in the area it's a good chance to get close to them and watch 
their behavior. I'll post a couple shots later.
