There were Ospreys still at the nest on the communication tower east of the 
Police Station at Sturgeon Bay, Door county.  Bird was sitting and calling from 
the nest last Friday

On the 5th of September there was a Loggerhead (Migrant) Shrike perched on 
wires along HW 57 just north of Southern Door High School near Brussels.  This 
is an interesting sighting because historically we had Loggerhead Shrikes 
nesting in this area.

river/Racine county

have had 2 osprey show up almost daily for the past week in my yard along the 
Fox river in Racine County (town of Waterford). If I understand correctly, they 
are early migrants. I've posted some pictures if you care to take a look. In 
one instance, there was a brief turf battle between the osprey and a red tail 
hawk. I also had a turkey vulture cozy up to the osprey within inches on a 
branch. Never seen that before! They sat together for about 5 minutes before 
the osprey flew off. Images can be see at

I'm pretty sure I saw him again Sunday morning on the west end of the Wehr 
Nature Center pond. It was brief viewing but I did get one poor photo of him 
flying overhead.

I guess the DNR did put up a nesting site at Big Muskego Lake, so maybe that's 
where he is from?
