I birded all day from Milwaukee -Racine -Kenosha until the clouds finally 
opened up an p’d on me around 3pm.
Bong was the expected highlight with low waters on Wolf Lake. I started scoping 
from a trail off of 75 then made my way over to the fishing pier. Teal numbers 
here high for SE Wisconsin. I’ve never seen so many GWTE. This place is worth 
checking in the coming weeks for the possibility of an unusual duck or 
shorebird. No Henslow’s yet.
