[wisb] Vernon Marsh - Frog Alley - Waukesha Co.

 
 
At Frog Alley this AM.  Shorebirds good but you have to walk to the far back of 
the dike system - where there is a channel to the river.  You have to go 
through knee high grass on the dike in the far end.  They did not cut back 
there but cut the rest of the dike.  Best to go in late afternoon so the sun is 
behind you.  I had trouble ID-ing shorebirds because they were against the 
glare of the sun in the morning when you have to face east.  I probably missed 
some good ones.
 
Had a "face off" with an Am Woodcock for 5-10 minutes.  He was sitting on the 
path and didn't move until I was within 10 yards of him.  Also saw a couple of 
Moorhen.  45 Species
 
Nice breeze, low humidity and no bugs.
