As Bill posted, I checked out the new Forest Beach preserve in Ozaukee Co.
today - very interesting place (wish I'd played it when it was still a golf
course...) This could become a premier hawk-watching locale because of the
open sight lines.
On my way there, I stopped briefly at the Lion's Den Gorge Preserve. Had a
Merlin fly over the Gentian Trail (which happens nearly every time I go there
in fall.) I found a little pocket of warblers in the woods along the trail at
the edge of the Waterfowl Production Area. Had a female Black-throated Blue, a
couple of Am. Redstarts, a "Bay/poll" that eluded definitive ID due to
flittiness, and a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, with another couple that were too
obscured by leaves to see.
Given how the LaCrosse radar lit up after the front went through there tonight,
I wouldn't expect much to hang around, but something really interesting could
well come in on the strong NW winds the next couple of days. The first
Townsend's Solitaire of the season was reported today along the North Shore of
Minnesota...
