Hi all,
I birded the lakefront in Milwaukee from mid-morning till later afternoon
and the highlight were 4 Willets at South Shore Yacht Club. They were
feeding just south of the beach area and then moved onto a pier to rest.
There were a few dog walkers and do not think they will hang around long
there. There were 100's of Bonaparte's Gulls south of the boat landing
there and a few hanging around the beach area. I saw the first
Black-crowned Night-Heron of the spring at Veteran's Park near the lagoon.
One Semipalmated Sandpiper and a few Caspian Terns at McKinley Marina and
that was about it. I walked what I thought was a good part of Lake Park,
not one warbler and only one Ruby-crowned Kinglet!

Thanks and good birding,
