Thanks to the following folks who joined us today at Forest Beach Migratory
Preserve in Ozaukee County, and helped identify and count birds, (raptors
as well as other spp.):

Owen Boyle
Tom Schaefer
Dennis Kuecherer
Joan Sommer
Marlyn Winter
Marilyn Bontly
Peter Fissel
Diane TenPas
Karen Morris
Kathy English
Vic Berardi and his wife (I apologize to have forgotten her name)

All told, we had approx. 30 people show up at one time or another today. It
became a little warmer than optimum, and in the afternoon the wind shifted
a bit too much out of the south. No matter; it was very worthwhile for the
first attempt at this location. Here's our list:
