Both Calumet CP and High Cliff SP were very quiet this morning.
Thousand Islands no longer has any ice, so there are few gulls.
Waterfowl was standard, plus 2 Buffleheads.
Jefferson Park in Menasha had the swan slam, a real surprise.
Actively feeding and "chasing" each other were 21 Trumpeters, 1 Mute
and 1 Tundra. This number has grown since a week ago. It would be
interesting to know where these new birds are coming from. Also
present here were 2 Gadwalls, 1 Canvasback, 2 Redheads, 1 Ring-necked
Duck, 1 Greater Scaup, 14 Lesser Scaup, 10 Ruddy Ducks and 12 Coots.
At James Island there were 16 Cormorants and several Glaucous, plus 1
Thayer's and 1 Great Black-backed Gull. The north end of Little Lake
Butte des Morts (north of the trestle) had many more Glaucous (for a
total of 25+), 1 Great Black-backed and 1 Iceland Gull. The number
of gulls on this lake remains impressive.
