Some of this will be a bit redundant from some other posts, but this
is what I saw today. I started along 6 MIle Rd, south of Jay Rd.
The Snowy Owl was being harassed by Crows. The feeder along D by
Harrington Beach SP had standard feeder birds, NO White-cr, Fox or
Harris's Sparrows (I spent about a half hour watching). Near the end
a female Cowbird came in to feed.
Harrington Beach off D had standard diving ducks. On the way to Port
Washington, a Harrier was cruising over the fields. At Port the
Kittiwake was present. In addition there was a Thayer's and Great
Black-backed Gull, a few Ring-billed Gulls, Cormorants, Coots,
Canvasbacks, Redhead, Ruddy Ducks, both scaup, and all 3 mergansers.
Kohler/Andrae SP had several scaup rafts plus 7 Great Black-backed
and 3 Glaucous Gulls. The feeders had standard birds.
Sheboygan had many Great Black-backed and Glaucous Gulls, the male
Barrow's Goldeneye and female Harlequin Duck.
Manitowoc/Two Rivers was really quiet with only the Peregrine Falcon
and a Great Black-backed Gull.
Green Bay (mouth of the Fox River) had 7 Cormorants, 1 Iceland Gull
and 31 Lesser Scaup.
For the day I ended with 51 species. A very enjoyable day although
standing out on the harbor at Port Washington was really COLD!!
