Hi all,
It was quiet on the lakefront in Milwaukee this morning. Only thing I could
come up with for a few shots was a female Red-breasted Merganser at South
Shore Yacht Club. It did extensive preening and then went on to relax
while I was there. It hung out with about 50 Mallards that were also just
taking a break with the high winds. Other birds to note, the Rossâs Goose
was still hanging around Veteranâs Park and Hooded Merganser, male was off
in a distance at the yacht club. Other than that same winter ducks along
the lakefront in various places. Temps were low 40âs with sun but had wind
gusts from 35-40 mph so it was just not a pleasant day out there. A warm up
is on the way, maybe some new birds will be found along with that change.
Some images of the Red-breasted Merganser from today at this link if you
care to view them:
