[wisb] Scissor-tailed Flycatcher - YES!

I am so pleased to be added to the list of folks who were successful in 
locating the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher in Kewaunee Cty -  Claire Romanak 
and I set out this morning on our flycatcher quest - along the way on 
Luxemberg Rd we stopped for a good sized flock of Snow Buntings, Horned 
Larks, and Lapland Longspurs - while coming into the general area of the 
reported flycatcher, we were having some directional difficulties and 
came across Dave Freriks who directed us to the location after saying:  
"I've been here for an hour and a half and haven't seen it" - our hearts 
sank a bit, but we persevered, only to be re-contacted a short time 
later by Dave, and he had found the bird!  Dave is now my hero!!  He 
took us to the bird which VERY obligingly permitted us to observe it for 
a full 45 mins until it tired of its grasshopper diet and flew up into 
the cow pasture - Claire and Dave both took wonderful photos of this 
very beautiful bird!  As per his post, the bird was on E south of O by 
.5 mile -

Claire and I drove over to Kewaunee harbor, walked out to the 
lighthouse, and were able, from there and with a scope, to identify a 
group of Surf, Black and White-winged Scoters - also still present was 
the Glaucous Gull, quite near shore to the south of the lighthouse - we 
did not locate any loons -

We also drove up to Algoma harbor and located a Cackling Goose feeding 
on the shore some distance away from the Canadas -

as we headed home south on E from the turn out of Kewaunee, we were sent 
off by a flock of seven Tundras overhead - magnificent birds at any time 
of the year -

good luck birding!
