Hi Bernie, I believe the correct name is Juneau Park Pond. I've also heard
people refer to it as Juneau Park lagoon. I'm not sure what the boundries are
for Juneau Park and Veterans Park, so I think that's why lots of people call it
the wrong thing (like me).
Sure seems early for goldeneyes. They are by the Museum all winter long - so
that's not unusual, but it will be interesting to see if others know if this is
early. Of course I've been seeing juncos for a few days too. That seems early
as
well.
Happy birding!

Subject: [wisb] Common Goldeneye (Milwaukee), and a question about Veterans
Park
lagoon
There's been a Common Goldeneye in pretty much the exact same spot for at
least five straight weeks now...near the small rocky island in the harbor right
behind the Milwaukee art museum.
Every time I walk past this spot the bird is there. I first noticed it five
weeks ago. It may have been around for longer than that. Just wondering if this
is unusual for the Milwaukee lakefront?
And now for my question about the Veterans Park lagoon. It seems like all the
references I've seen call this body of water "Veterans Park lagoon". But there
are some yellow fishing regulation signs posted on the shore that refer to it
as
"Juneau Park pond". Just wondering which is the correct name?
