Hiked the completed break water circle at Terrell's Island (Lake Butte des
Morts) yesterday. About 3.8 miles (I'm told) carrying scope and tripod.
Bird activity was slow but did manage to find a pair of lingering DUNLIN and
a flock of snow buntings estimated at 40-50 birds - they never sat still
long enough to get a more exact count. Waterfowl activity was very slow -
mostly coot (90+) with some mallards, ruddy ducks and bufflehead. Did not
see any swan-like birds with black trailing edges on their wings - sorry
Paul.
I started out on the Orchard Trail because the map at the kiosk indicated it
connected back to the main loop - not! Had to backtrack to the parking lot
to get back on the loop. Note that there is nowhere to sit comfortably
along this 3.8 mile loop - you need to find a good rock. I take that
back - there were some chairs on the porch at the building near the end of
my hike, so I sat there for a few minutes. There is a portable toilet at
the main parking lot and also at the club grounds building area.
