Hi everyone-- FOY Eastern Bluebirds and Yellow-rumped Warblers were in drizzly Estabrook Park, Milwaukee Co., this morning. Blue-winged Teal and Bufflehead, firsts of the year, too, were on the river, and Red-breasted Mergansers were displaying. Also, I looked again this morning for the male Horned Grebe that was photographed on the lagoon on Tuesday (4/8) but had no luck. You had to be there, I guess, and, sigh, I wasn't. --Chuck Chuck Hagner Milwaukee Co., WI c_hagner@xxxxxxx Begin forwarded message: > From: do-not-reply@xxxxxxxxx > Subject: eBird Report - Estabrook Park, Apr 12, 2014 > Date: April 12, 2014 12:39:39 PM CDT > To: c_hagner@xxxxxxx > > Estabrook Park, Milwaukee, US-WI > Apr 12, 2014 7:05 AM - 10:35 AM > Protocol: Traveling > 3.0 mile(s) > 42 species (+1 other taxa) > > Canada Goose 10 Observed geese sitting on two nests on island in lagoon. > Wood Duck 2 Observed pair together in tree. > Mallard 20 > Blue-winged Teal 10 > Bufflehead 2 > Red-breasted Merganser 5 Males were displaying: lifting their head high > while stretching their neck, then tipping forward, lifting their tail. > Pied-billed Grebe 2 > Great Blue Heron 1 > American Coot 2 > Herring Gull 4 > gull sp. 7 > Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon) 4 > Mourning Dove 5 > Belted Kingfisher 1 > Red-bellied Woodpecker 1 Observed male entering, and hammering below, > nest cavity. > Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 6 > Downy Woodpecker 3 > Northern Flicker 3 > Eastern Phoebe 3 > Blue Jay 3 > American Crow 2 > Black-capped Chickadee 19 > White-breasted Nuthatch 2 > Brown Creeper 10 > Winter Wren 1 > Golden-crowned Kinglet 38 > Ruby-crowned Kinglet 12 > Eastern Bluebird 2 Observed along bluff overlooking river near beer > garden.
