    The DNR is lowering the water levels in many of the pools and exposing a 
lot 
of mud flats.  Shorebirds are becoming more numerous each day.  Mostly seen so 
far are "peeps" and Yellowlegs but a scope would probably reveal more.  
Greeenwing Dike off  of  Frog Alley Rd. seems best, especially if you bring in 
a 
spotting scope.  Hwy 83 is under construction, so Cty I and Sugden Road will 
get 
you in.  Or you can walk through the woods from the Water Tower in Mukwonago.  
That's about a 1/3 mile walk and a good way to see Passerines.  Flies are 
moderately pesty in the woods and no problem out on the dike.  Repellent is a 
good idea.
     Also seen are numerous Pelicans (best year ever), GB Heron, Egrets, Black 
Terns and an occasional Osprey or Eagle.
