After church this morning I headed for Kewaunee. At the park south
of the lighthouse were THREE Snow Geese and after some searching the
Ross's Goose came into view behind the numerous Canadas. Also
present was a MALE Am Wigeon, plus two large rafts on the lake, one
of C. Goldeneyes and the other Greater Scaup. There were only a
limited number of gulls present, all Herrings except for a first yr
Thayer's. In regard to the wigeon and Ross's, the wigeon swam in
from the south, then disappeared later. The Ross's kept working to
the south, eventually disappearing far to the south. The 3 Snow
Geese also worked south but they were still visible when I prepared
to leave after 1.5 hours here.
In the Kewaunee harbor the main part by the highway is frozen. The
entire harbor itself is open and had several hundred goldeneyes, plus
3 Lesser Scaup (1m, 2f), 4 male Ring-necked Ducks and a female
Canvasback, plus the two standard mergansers, Greater Scaup, 2 Black
Ducks but oddly no Mallards.
At Bay Beach Sanctuary in Green Bay there are FOUR N. Pintails (2
pairs) in with the geese, Mallards and Black Ducks. They were
present in the limited open water in back of the residence home.
At the mouth of the Fox River were a pair of Hooded Mergansers, 9 DC
Cormorants, 2 White Pelicans plus standard ducks, 10 Bald Eagles and
a few Herring Gulls.
